Abstract: ObjectiveTo evaluate the TB control effect of the model of designated hospitals at county level. MethodsThe data from TB monthly, quarterly and annual reporting system during 2004—2006 were collected and analyzed. ResultsAfter the implementation of the model of designated hospitals, the registration rate of active tuberculosis and smear positive cases were significantly increased from 118.12/100000,36.95/100000 to 143.59/100000 and 52.38/100000 respectively, and the cure rate was 92.8% in average, which had no significant difference between the two models(P>0.005). ConclusionsResults shows that the model of designated hospitals at county level is successful. Furthermore, it is necessary to perfect the model and develop relevant standards and measures.
