47 Conclusion Huge disparity between and within countries in the EUR Region (even in EU!) Overall decrease in rates BUT countries far from TB elimination (1 TB case /10 6 pop) TB in vulnerable groups becomes more crucial M(X)DR-TB with/-out HIV
48 Action points More investment in prevention and control Targeting of risk and vulnerable groups Support for innovative technologies in diagnostics and treatment Operational research
