Abstract
The 67th World Health Assembly of 2014 adopted the “End TB Strategy” with a vision of making the world free of tuberculosis (TB) and with the goal of ending the global TB epidemic by the year 2035. World Health Organization's “End TB Strategy” captures this holistic response in its four principles and three pillars. The three high-level indicators of the “End TB Strategy” - reductions in TB deaths, reductions in the TB incidence rate and the percentage of TB patients and their households experiencing catastrophic costs - are relevant to all countries.
