Abstract

[...]we discuss how experience from these programmes may inform the setting of future goals and targets for HIV. [...]of scaling up malaria control efforts, between 2000 and 2015, the world saw an estimated 37% reduction in incidence and a 60% decline in mortality rates [41], thus realising Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 6. (Success in achieving the target was contingent on the use of the whole world population—including populations with very few leprosy cases, e.g., in Northern Europe—as the denominator.) However, particularly in countries with a significant disease burden such as India and Brazil, continuing high numbers of new cases detected indicated that MDT had not interrupted transmission as anticipated [49]. Since 2005, declines in both prevalence and incidence rates have largely stalled [50], and many countries with a national prevalence below 1/10,000 continue to have high incidence subnationally [51]. [...]the End TB Strategy elimination targets cannot be achieved without both rapid and substantial progress towards the SDGs [73,74], and the development of a simple and effective mechanism for managing latent infection.
