Planning the Development of Human Resources for Health for Implementation of the Stop TB Strategy - A Handbook

This handbook is intended to give guidance to those responsible for developing country-specific strategic plans and annual implementation plans for HRD for comprehensive TB control within overall HRH development. The central theme of this handbook points to the need for close collaboration between, and coordination among, national TB control programmes and the departments of health system management or human resources for health of the Ministry of Health and their respective partners. This is necessary to ensure that the health workforce is able to carry out the specific tasks necessary to implement the Stop TB Strategy.
