Under-reporting of surveillance to KNTSS  was found lower when cases were diagnosed in General hospitals (8\% over 2012-2013) compared with private clinics (24\%). A regulation is being put in place to condition reimbursements from NHI to notification of cases by prescribing physicians as part of a 5-year plan for TB elimination (2015-2020). As of 2011, NHI covered 90\% of medical expenses related to TB, it is planned that coverage will reach 100\% in 2016. These two measures should ensure a near zero level of under-reporting of detected cases.
