This fact sheet explains the purpose of the Global Drug Facility (GDF) to expand access to, and availability of, high-quality TB drugs to facilitate DOTS expansion, and to enable governments and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to implement effective TB control programs based upon the DOTS stragegy.

This prospectus is a culmination of input from Stop TB Partners including representatives from TB high-burden countries, UN agencies, Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs), and foundations to develop the form, strategies, objectives, and governance of the Global TB Drug Facility (GDF).

This report explains the European DOTS Expansion plan to control TB. The plan highlights country needs and resource gaps, emphasizing collaboration with the governments of endemic countries, national and international agencies, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). The aim is to stimulate social and political commitment to achieving the global TB targets as part of the overall health system. The plan is based on two principles: the development of national DOTS expansion plans and partnership-building to control TB.
