With ten years remaining to achieve the global goal of ending TB as a public health threat by 2035, the launch of the National End TB Plan marks a renewed commitment to accelerate progress. This first implementation plan outlines the key priorities and activities for the financial year April 2026 to March 2027 and provides a roadmap for coordinated action across the TB programme.

More collaboration will be required with all branches and clusters in the national department of health. This plan contains several key activities that will facilitate further integration of TB within the branch HIV/AIDS, TB & MCWH’s and with the primary health care branch. There are also more activities related to TB in the mines.
