Tuberculosis Infection Control Manual (Second Edition)

The purpose of this Manual is to guide efforts aimed at reducing TB transmission in healthcare facilities, congregate settings such as crowded prisons, hostels, factories, as well as households of TB patients and the community at large, through the implementation of evidence-based, costeffective and affordable TB-IC measures. The implementation shall be monitored closely to inform the NTP that TB-IC targets of the national strategic plan are met. To facilitate the implementation of TB-IC measures two companion documents have been developed: A Trainers’ Manual and a Job Aids Package.
