Supported by Existing Guidelines:
ILO/WHO guidelines on health services and HIV/AIDS, 2005- 19f:
19. Health policy needs to cover and promote collaboration among all relevant institutions including teaching, district and private hospitals and clinics, occupational health services, community health services, dispensaries and home-based care associations, and faith-based and other national and international NGOs. Governments should therefore: (f) prioritize, and make adequate budgetary provisions for, human resources, infrastructure, equipment and materials for effective service delivery to patients and protection of health-care workers.

TB infection control, 2009- Comprehensive budgeting 2.2.1 activity 1b:
- 2.2.1 Activity 1 - Identify and strengthen a coordinating body for infection control, and develop a comprehensive budgeted plan that includes human resource requirements for implementation of TB infection control at all levels
- Activity 1b - Conduct comprehensive planning and budgeting Implementation of a TB infection control plan requires comprehensive planning and integration with other national infection control efforts at all levels. Resources required for each element of TB infection control should be accurately costed, and necessary resources identified. Planning and financing the design, construction, renovation and optimal use of buildings, and evaluation of the choice of environmental controls to be implemented, is essential. These activities should be based on infection control assessment of the facilities and informed by socioeconomic considerations. The roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder in implementing and monitoring each element of TB infection control must be clearly defined.
