Yogya (KU) – Cases of tuberculosis (TB) in Indonesia are the third biggest in the world.  It is not easy to reduce the incidence and prevalence in this country. We need to make comprehensive efforts that should be managed under TB eradication program.

The latest data of TB control program in global, national, and local levels showed that despite achievements since year 2000, there were decelerations in the past few years. In several places stagnation of programs even occured.
