Manual for Tuberculosis Management within IOM Migration Health Assessment Programmes

The management of tuberculosis (TB) by IOM aims to adequately treat and cure the infected patient, as well as minimize the risk of transmission to other persons before, during and after migration. Quality TB management requires the consistent and diligent application of a standardized, evidence-based approach along recognized guidelines. This manual aims to support a consistent and high-quality process of TB management for IOM health assessment activities worldwide.
