Zusammenfassung:[...]the Ebola outbreak resulted in increased general response readiness among ministries of health in countries that previously struggled to attain minimum International Health Regulations core capacities.11 New emergency response centres have been established, health-care facilities built, laboratories improved, and resource mobilisation channels created. [...]urgent efforts to find and resume tuberculosis treatment among people for whom treatment was interrupted would improve patient outcomes and reduce the development of drug-resistant tuberculosis. [...]the rapid resumption and scale-up of tuberculosis case finding, diagnostic evaluation, directly observed therapy, and infection prevention and control would prevent further disease transmission.
