Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common infectious disease in the world. In recent years, strong evidence has been confirmed to confirm a link between TB and DM. Because of the attachment between TB and DM, the first priority of the joint national body for DM and TB should be the development and launch of a national plan for joint collaborative activities which incorporates development of national guidelines and tools, resource mobilization, monitoring and evaluation and operational research, pre-service and in-service training and advocacy, communication and social mobilization
