Proposed by Lord Gideon Kwah, Royal Delegate to the World Forum of The Peocracy of Huawan

Notifying the recent alarming rates of drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, we propose the establishment of the WF Tuberculosis Global Task Force. Which shall be referred to "Task Force"

Section B — Mandate

The Task Force shall:

Ensure that assessments of progress towards the End TB Strategy at global, regional and country levels are as rigorous, robust and consensus-based as possible.

To guide, promote and support the analysis and use of TB data for policy, planning, and programmatic action.

Achieve its milestone of a 35% reduction in TB deaths and a 20% reduction in the TB incidence rate compared with levels in 2018, and that no TB patients and their households face catastrophic costs as a result of TB disease. As well as increase safeguard against, Drug-resistant Tuberculosis and promote preventive methods.

Section C — Organisational structure

The Task Force shall be headed by a Director who shall be elected by a simple majority vote in the Committee for Health.
The Task Force shall be based on where headquarters of the WF Health Committee is located.
Task Force Officers and Researchers may span over member states under strict scrutiny under the Director which includes a wide range of experts in TB epidemiology, statistics and modelling, representatives from major technical and financial partners and representatives from countries with a high burden of TB.

Section D - Proposed Strategies

• Strengthening national notification systems for direct measurement of TB cases, including drug-resistant TB and HIV-associated TB specifically.
  
  
• Strengthening national vital registration systems for direct measurement of TB deaths.
  
  
• Priority studies to periodically measure TB disease burden. These include (but are not limited to):
  
  1. National TB prevalence surveys.
     
  2. Drug resistance surveys.
     
  3. Mortality surveys.
     
• Surveys of costs faced by TB patients and their households.
  
  
• Periodic review of methods used by WHO to estimate the burden of TB disease and latent TB infection.*
  
  *The World Health Organization (WHO) is a body crafted by nationstates of the world which officially governs the health edict and provide the global health recommendation to combat disease and act as the governing body to establish a state of worry in epidemics.
  
  
  
• Analysis and use of TB data at country level. This includes:
  
  1. Disaggregated analyses (e.g. age, sex, location) to assess. inequalities and equity
     
  2. Projections of disease burden and intervention impact.
     
  3. Guidance, tools and capacity building.
