Mongolia is one of countries in the WHO Western Pacific Region with a high TB burden. The National Stop TB Strategy 2010-2015 implemented and developed strong surveillance and response system in the country. However, new TB incidence and deaths have not decreased significantly.Political commitment is critical for effective TB surveillance and that commitment can be demonstrated by a country's legal framework, which governs the practice of prevention and control. Therefore, this study is aimed at investigating the legal underpinnings for disease surveillance to help identify what policy changes have occurred in Tuberculosis surveillance.
Objective: In order to track progress towards TB goals, weinvestigated the legal framework for disease surveillance, specifically policy changes for TB surveillance in Mongolia during the MDGs and the SDGs era.
