The recommended diagnostic tool under DOTS remains sputum smear microscopy, a simple, yet ineffective, technique that only detect…

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria—one of the most important vehicles for delivering life-saving drugs and treatment to the world’s poor—has virtually transformed public health delivery in its four short years of existence.
