Consolidated guidance on tuberculosis data generation and use: module 1: tuberculosis surveillance: web annex A: commonly observed problems and associated solutions

This annex focuses on the problems that have been commonly observed during these assessments. For convenience, these can be broadly grouped as either “system-associated” or “data-associated” (Fig. WA.1.1). “System-associated” are problems related to the surveillance system itself, particularly inefficiencies due to fragmentation and gaps in system coverage whereas “data-associated” are problems that affect data collection, data quality, analysis and use.
