National tuberculosis Control Program Israel has implemented a new tuberculosis (TB) control programme in response to
the rise in the incidence of tuberculosis due to immigration in the last decade. It
complies with World Health Organization guidelines, and also includes specific
measures addressing the needs of immigrants. We describe the new programme
and compare the outcome of treatment prior and after its realisation.
Methods
This study was a small-scale, parallel-group randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted in
Ankara, Turkey. Participants were adult daily smokers who were seriously thinking about
quitting in the next 15 days and living in Ankara, Turkey. The text messaging intervention, SMS
Turkey, provided 6 weeks of daily messages aimed at giving participants skills to help them quit
smoking. Messages were sent in an automated fashion, except 2 days and 7 days after the initial
quit day. On days 2 and 7, the research assistant manually assigned participants to content
paths based on whether they were still not smoking or had relapsed. The control arm received a
brochure that provided similar information about smoking cessation. The main outcome measure
was self-reported 3-month sustained abstinence, verified by carbon monoxide (CO) readings.
Neither participants nor researchers were blinded to arm assignment.

Sputnik. We hire and train nurses to deliver medication and food to patients at
home, every day. The program was a major accomplishment for PIH and for patients
who otherwise would not likely have finished treatment. Between December 2006
and December 2012, 70.5 percent of our patients were successfully treated.

In 2001, the ongoing mission against HIV/AIDS was advanced when Mexico
participated in a regional assessment of HIV/AIDS activities in Central America and,
as a result, began offering training workshops to countries throughout the region,
including Honduras and El Salvador.
