Description

This manual highlights the issues relating to the care of patients with tuberculosis (TB) and controlling the transmission of the disease in refugee and displaced populations. The new strategy outlined in six components includes: political commitment and sustained financing; case detection through quality-assured bacteriology; standardized short-course chemotherapy with supervision and patient support; an effective drug supply and management system; monitoring and evaluation system, and impact measurement.
