The year 2015 was a watershed moment in the battle against TB. It marked the deadline of global TB targets set in the context of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This year is the year for transition from the MDGs to a new era of SDGs and from the Stop TB Strategy to the End TB Strategy. Kenya continues to be a leader in the fight against TB. For the past 10 years, accumulative total of 1.2 million Kenyans have been diagnosed with TB while 1 million TB patients have been successfully treated. The TB-controlled interventions have been made and an estimated 500,000 deaths during that period have been averted. These interventions are now easily accessible by citizens throughout 4500 health facilities and 1800 diagnostic sites in the country. Despite this advance, and the fact that nearly all cases can be cured, TB remains one of the biggest threats in Kenya. It is ranked the fourth leading cause of death in the country accounting for 6.3 per cent of all TB deaths that occurred in 2014. We have had some successes in 2012---"
