The Government of Kenya has a vision to reduce the burden of lung disease in Kenya and render Kenya free of TB and leprosy. Towards this aim, the National Tuberculosis, Leprosy and Lung Disease Program (NTLD Program) has been implementing activities within the framework of a five-year (2011-2015) national strategy. TB is a major cause of morbidity, with nearly 90,000 cases notified in 2013. It is the 4th leading cause of death in the country.
