MER Updates:
TB_ART and TB_STAT have been updated from quarterly to semi-annual indicators
Per the MER 2.0 guidance, TB_ART and TB_STAT are now semi-annual indicators. Any data that was input into these indicators for FY17 Quarter 1 (Oct-Dec 2016) has been removed. This was required to avoid any inconsistencies in the data.
