Building capacity of national control programmes to implement WHO‐recommended strategies to eliminate STH
WHO
publishes manuals and tools to support translation of WHO recommendations into
practice. These manuals are intended for use by national control programmes and
partners to support planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluation of
activities to achieve elimination of STH as a public health problem; they also include
support to the microscopical diagnosis of STH.
Furthermore,
in collaboration with WHO Regional Offices, regional and national workshops are
held to build up the skills of health workers within the health ministries of
endemic countries and enable them to implement the recommended
strategies.
