This is the fourth report of the WHO/IUATLD Global Project on Anti-Tuberculosis Drug Resistance Surveillance. The three previous reports were published in 1997, 2000 and 2004 and included data from 35, 58 and 77 countries, respectively. This report includes drug susceptibility test (DST) results from 91,577 patients from 93 settings in 81 countries and 2 Special Administrative Regions (SARs) of China collected between 2002 and 2006, and representing over 35% of the global total of notified new smear-positive TB cases. It includes data from 33 countries that have never previously reported. New data are available from the following high
TB burden countries1: India, China, Russian Federation, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Philippines, VietNam, Tanzania, Thailand, and Myanmar. Between 1994 and 2007 a total of 138 settings in 114 countries and 2 SARs of China had reported data to the Global Project

The content of this logbook predominantly includes practical areas and exposure experiences that cannot be acquired within the training institution’s environment.
This logbook will, therefore be used to record practical experiences, exposures and the assessment there of, while at placement/practicum site within the duration of the program.
This logbook will be implemented in relation to the Curriculum for Higher Diploma in Anaesthesia
The modular format of the curriculum allows learners to acquire job specific skills and knowledge (competences) module by module. In principle, and following the philosophy of Competence-Based Education and Training (CBET), the modules can be used as a guide for learning in a training centre or at the work place or combination of both. PART III: Assessment Instruments in form of performance
Uganda’s Business, Technical, Vocational, Education and Training (BTVET) sub-sector has undergone many reforms in effort to meet the National Development Plan‘s objectives for skilling Uganda’s human resources and for Uganda Vision 2040. The reforms include, among others, the review of curricula at all levels of BTVET to make them competence-based and relevant to the needs of the population that the graduates are to serve.
A major challenge to the delivery of services in the health sector is the changing nature of skills demands to the various health cadres. The shifting demands of the expected performance and competencies in tasks at different levels arise from the emerging concerns that call for different approaches in health care interventions.
The Government of Uganda is committed to enhancing and nurturing the development of the desired skills for the effective delivery of health services.
This Competence-Based Education and Training (CBET) curriculum consists of three major parts, sequentially developed by combined panels of practitioners and tutors, guided by DACUM process and TVET Facilitators as follows: Part I: Occupational Profile Part II: Training Modules Part III: Sample Assessment tools.
This Curriculum may be periodically revised to match the dynamic trends in the occupation and hence issued in different version
Anaesthesia training program. Uganda’s population has increased to 34 million people which calls for increase Health Centre IVs (HCIVs), districts, and Regional Referral Hospitals (RRHs). The training programme will take two (2) years, consisting of four (4) semesters with assessments carried out for each semester.
This Curriculum is competence-based and consists of three major parts which were developed sequentially by combined panels of practitioners and tutors between November and December 2015.
