Framework towards Tuberculosis Elimination in Low-Incidence Countries
Excerpt
This Framework offers a coherent approach for eliminating tuberculosis (TB) in low-incidence countries. It is designed to guide national policy-makers and those responsible for technical aspects of the national TB response in accelerating efforts towards elimination. The document will also be informative for public health surveillance officers, practitioners and nongovernmental and civil society partners working on national TB care and prevention and serving the populations most vulnerable to TB.
