As part of a joint commitment to program review, in 2012 the PNG Government commissioned the independent report, Evaluation of Risks of Tuberculosis in Western Province Papua New Guinea prepared by Associate Professor Emma McBryde.
The McBryde Report deals with a number of key issues and recommendations, broadly grouped into nine areas: infection control; communication; human resources; outreach and education; cross-border cooperation; and health infrastructure; HIV testing; strengthen and expand TB services on a sustained basis; and research.
PNG and AusAID agree to all of the recommendations of the Report. This joint response outlines the steps that the PNG and Western Provincial Government and AusAID will take to address the recommendations in the McBryde Report.
