National Strategic
Planning
“Applying the People-Centred Framework during the strategic planning process allowed us to systematically analyze and use data to determine the extent that Tuberculosis continues to be a public health concern and; what and why gaps in national response and service provision exist. It led us to formulate interventions that we think are the most appropriate and responsive in our context for addressing the gaps and challenges.”
– Helena Mungunda, Senior Technical Advisor for National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control Program, Ministry of Health and Social Service, Namibia
