The system was found to be simple and flexible (97.5% and 94.5%) respectively but had a low case detection rate of 24% (299/1255). The average time taken to confirm a suspected case was 48-72hrs and registration for treatment was done the same day after confirmation. The standard case definition was easy to use and 76% showed a willingness to continue with the system. 95% of the reported data were completely and correctly filled but timeliness was 92.5%. Quarterly supervisions are conducted at the national level. The program is 100% donor dependent and private facilities are not involved in multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis surveillance activities.
