Description

Treatment of tuberculosis: Guidelines for National Programmes follows new WHO procedures for guidelines development. Seven important recommendations have been identified and are being promoted in this new edition. New objectives include universal access to patient-centred treatment and protection of populations from TB/HIV and multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). The recommendations are based on the quality of the evidence, patient values, and costs, as well judgements about trade-offs between benefits and harms.
