Green Light Committee to New Framework for PMDT
Green Light Committee(GLC) Initiative
Objectives:
• Contribute to the progress towards meeting global tuberculosis control targets and prevent development of almost incurable forms of TB (XDR-TB)
• Increase access to quality-assured, affordable second-line drugs for the treatment of drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) among well-performing TB control programs in developing countries
Rationale for the New Global Framework
• Very few MDR-TB patients on treatment
Only 11% of people with MDR receiving any treatment
Less than 3% of people receiving care of known quality
• Revision of the global framework was urgently required
‘Shift from a controlling to a supporting mode’ Three Task Forces:
I. Provision of technical assistance
II. Availability of quality assured second-line TB drugs (SLDs)
III. Monitoring and evaluation, and the governance structure for MDR-TB management scale-up
Global GLC Committee (gGLC)
Global level strategic gGLC with dual role of advising Stop TB Partners and WHO.
1. a sub-group of the MDR-TB working group of the Stop TB Partnership and
2. an advisory committee to WHO and Partners
• Members appointed in individual capacity
• All relevant technical areas, constituencies and regions are represented
Regional GLC Committee (rGLC)
Regional advisory committee with dual role of advising Stop TB Partners and WHO Regional Offices to guide countries on scale-up
1. Phased decentralization to regions
2. All relevant technical areas and constituencies represented
3. Composition should reflect the different needs of the respective region
