HIV Integrated Biological and Behavioural Surveillance (IBBS) surveys were conducted in 2016-2017 among males who have sex with males (MSM) in Dili and Baucau, Timor-Leste to track the HIV epidemic, monitor sexual risk behaviours, and to measure access to intervention programs in responding to HIV. MSM were defined as biological males, aged 17 to 49 years, having had anal sex with a male in the past 12 months, and living in the survey area. This survey resulted in a sample of 200 FSW in Dili and 105 FSW in Baucau.

WHO has published a global TB report every year since 1997. The main aim of the report is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the TB epidemic, and of progress in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease at global, regional and country levels. This is done in the context of recommended global TB strategies and targets endorsed by WHO’s Member States and broader development goals set by the United Nations.

Start Free, Stay Free, AIDS Free is a collaborative framework to accelerate the end of the AIDS epidemic among children, adolescents and young women by 2020. Every child and adolescent living with HIV should have access to antiretroviral therapy (ART). The AIDS Free component of the framework has the specific goal of ensuring 95% of all children and adolescents living with HIV have access to lifelong ART by the end of 2018. These efforts will need to be sustained until 2020, when it is estimated that treating 95% of all children and adolescents living with HIV will require providing ART to 1.4 million children (aged 0-14). and 1 million adolescents (aged 15-19).

Progress in reducing the tuberculosis (TB) burden in the Western Pacific Region has been remarkable, with millions of lives saved and drastic reductions in prevalence and mortality in the past two decades. Throughout the Region, national tuberculosis programmes (NTPs) have expanded the basic TB services package and centred its focus on the most cost-effective, high-impact interventions at little or no cost to patients. Furthermore, accurate epidemiological information and programmatic evidence have provided a rich base for informed decision-making.

Community voices and leadership in governance, implementation and oversight of Global Fund-supported programs is essential to achieving lasting impact. Lessons from the Ebola response and the transition to the Sustainable Development Goals, with the specific target of achieving universal health coverage, have spurred the Global Fund to reflect on how people access health services and how countries respond to health crises. Rethinking our approaches to building resilient and sustainable systems for health will be essential in order to maximize equitable access and impact on HIV, TB and malaria.
