Azerbaijan, Baku. A member of the ICRC team visits the laboratory. – The authorities are now financing the medicines needed for the tuberculosis campaign. The aim is that by 2008 they will be able to take over the programmes completely, allowing the ICRC to withdraw. In Azerbaijan, a pilot project will shortly be launched to help prisoners who have become resistant to treatment. The programme, known as “DOTS plus”, will involve cooperation between the authorities and the Global Fund against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
