Striving to End Tuberculosis – A Strategy for Ireland 2024 - 2030

Vision and Aim: Vision That Ireland achieves the WHO End TB Strategy goal of TB elimination by removing the barriers that people face in accessing diagnostic and therapeutic services, optimising outcomes for individuals with TB and wider society. Aim To achieve the WHO End TB Strategy target to reduce TB incidence in Ireland using a person-centred collaborative approach which reduces health inequities, strengthens prevention and early diagnosis, and improves care for those with TB. In order to achieve the nationally applicable WHO End TB target of an 80% reduction in TB incidence between 2015 and 203010, an annual decrease in new TB notifications of 6% is needed (Figure 1). To achieve this, the annual reduction in TB cases in Ireland must increase.
