Kyrgyz Republic Tuberculosis Roadmap Overview, Fiscal Year 2021

Speeches Shim

This is an overview of the USAID/Kyrgyz Republic FY 2021 Tuberculosis (TB) Roadmap, implemented with FY 2020 budget. It was developed in consultation with the National TB Program (NTP) and with the participation of national and international partners involved in TB prevention and care in the country.

The Kyrgyz Republic is among the high multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) burden countries. The country has an estimated TB burden of 7,1002 and detected 6,138 (87 percent) individuals with TB. Additionally, the MDR-TB and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) burden has been increasing with 1,577 registered cases in 2019 alone. The estimated proportion of MDR-TB among new cases is 29 percent, and among the retreatment cases it is 60 percent.

In 2017, the Kyrgyz Republic adopted the National TB Strategy for 2017-2021 as a guiding document for planning and implementing TB control activities nationwide. The Ministry of Health (MOH) and NTP are currently working to develop an updated National Strategic Plan (NSP) for 2021-2023. This new NSP is in line with the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) High-Level Meeting on TB targets.
