Implementation target is to detect at least 70% of new sputum smear positive cases and cure at least 90% of these cases. TB is a high priority agenda in the National Health Policy. Health Department Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa planned and implemented “TB Eradication Program” to control TB in the Province in the year 2000, through a PC-1 for duration of five years (2000–2005).
Foreign aided PC-I for 2005–2008 was then approved and extended to 31 December 2009. GTZ provided technical assistance and KFW yielded financial assistance in this PC-I.

TB Surveillance System in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
TB Control Programme, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa is the only programme which has its own web based Electronic Recording and Reporting System
tbdatakp.gov.pk. It is the case based recording system which provides access to every patient's record and to monitor performance of each BMU and district. It was developed in last quarter of 2009 with financial support from AGEG-KfW and was launched in 1st quarter of 2010.
The basic objective was to have a system which can help to generate error free report and to strengthen the TB surveillance system. TB Control Programme, KP was maintaining TB data in MS Excel Files since 2002 which was holding data collected from districts and consolidating to generate province report but the quality of the data was always in question and chances of errors were high because of manual collection and generation of reports by the district TB control officers.
Introduction of ERS addressed many issues. Now DOTS facilitator at district TB control office enter TB patient's data from TB03 register just like he/she enter it in TB03 itself, the system records it along with its follow-up data and generate WHO standard reports at the end of each quarter. Also it performs analysis on the reports to show the progress and performance of the BMU, District and Province. With the help of ERS district TB control officer and provincial TB control authority can access and monitor the data of patients registered in periphery.
TB control programme upgraded their system in January, 2011. Keeping in view the feed backs from the districts. The system has the capacity to be upgraded further and new features can be introduced to strengthen it more, it can be attached to increase its scope to other TB related activities and to help TB management staff by getting quality data in real time.
