Abstract: Objective To analyze the effect of Hubei WB/DFID TB control project and provide scientific basis for sustainable development of TB control work in Hubei.  Method Final project assessment data were used for analysis and evaluation of the implementation of the project from 2002 to 2009.   Results DOTS coverage rate in project area has reached 100%. The attendance rate of suspected TB patients increased from 112.08/100000 to 305.66/100-000. The detection rate of new smear positive pulmonary TB cases rose from 44.3% to 72.6%. The cure rate is 94.0% for smear positive patients, and 94.7% for new smear positive and 89.9% for retreatmentcases. The direct economic benefit of the project is 20.43 times of the cost in patients’ detection and treatment.  Conclusion s This project implemented well in Hubei. The DOTS coverage, the case detection rate of new smear positive patients and the cure rate of smear positive patients have all reached the project requirements, and achieved good economic and social benefits. However, the tasks remain tough in maintaining the Results and ensuring the sustainable development of TB prevention and control work after the end of the project.
