Which act addresses tuberculosis elimination planning?

• A. RA 10767
• B. RA 6425
• C. RA 8504
• D. RA 5527

Answer: (A)

TB elimination planning relies on a clear policy framework that sets targets, allocates resources, and coordinates actions across national and local levels. Republic Act 10767 provides the health reform framework that includes formalizing a national tuberculosis elimination plan, ensuring funding, and establishing oversight through the Department of Health and collaboration with local government units and universal health coverage goals. This explicit focus on creating, funding, and coordinating a TB elimination plan is why it’s the best fit for addressing TB elimination planning. The other acts address different areas—one governs medical practice, another focuses on HIV/AIDS prevention and control, and the rest cover unrelated topics—so they do not provide a national TB elimination planning framework.
