Le secrétariat du RSI à l’OMS a développé un outil pour les missions d’EEC qui mesure les aptitudes du pays à prévenir, détecter et répondre rapidement aux menaces de santé publique, conformément aux exigences du RSI (2005). Cet outil est également utilisé pour l’exercice d’auto-...évaluation réalisé par le pays, préalablement à l’EEC. Les résultats ainsi obtenus permettent de préparer un plan d’action national multisectoriel destiné à renforcer la mise en œuvre du RSI (2005).

Background: In the “Centre National Hospitalier de Pneumo-Phtisiologie” of Cotonou, Benin, little is known about
the characteristics of patients who have not attended their scheduled appointment, the results of tracing and the

activities for those who missed scheduled appointments towards a successful treatment outcome.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out among all smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients
treated between January and September 2013. Data on demographic and diagnostic characteristics and treatment

scheduled appointments was collected from the tracing tuberculosis register. A univariate analysis was performed
to explore factors associated with missing a scheduled appointment
