The network of antituberculosis institutions is centralized into big tuberculous associations and ++inter-district dispensaries. ++Clinico-statistical groups, including the quality standards and the models of end results, i. e. the lists of indicators and their standard values, were developed to support mutual financial operations and quality evaluation efforts of the current activities. The amount of material incentive of the medical personnel directly depends on the quality of its work. In this way a material incentive of every medical worker, structural unit, institution and service as a whole is ensured in bringing up the effectiveness of the antituberculosis activities.
