Longitudinal assessment of health related quality of life of HIV infected patients treated for tuberculosis and HIV in a high burden setting
Completeness and Reliability of the Republic of South Africa National Tuberculosis (TB) Surveillance System
The current evaluation revealed that one-third of persons diagnosed with TB disease may not have been notified of their disease or initiated on treatment ('initial defaulters').

Actions are urgently needed to ensure that all diagnosed patients are treated…
EDCTP regional networks of excellence
The shared initial merits and lessons learnt portray in part the strengthened capacity of these networks for improved research coordination and conduct of planned multi-center clinical trials in Africa. Increased funding by African agencies, governments and international health partners will ensure sustainability of these networks for research capacity development and demonstrate their commitment to achieving the MDGs in Africa
