Australia is supporting the Government of PNG to strengthen the health system to prevent, detect and respond to infectious diseases, with multi-drug resistant TB (MDR TB) as a particular focus. In 2014, the Government of PNG declared a TB emergency, with Daru in Western Province, the National Capital District (NCD) and Gulf Province designated as TB hotspots.

DFAT commissioned this review to assess the contribution that Australian support has made to achievements in TB prevention and control since 2011, and to inform the next phase of Australia’s support for TB.
