tuberculosis control

Tuberculosis (TB) control involves detecting and treating the disease early to prevent its spread. This includes testing individuals at risk, providing effective antibiotics for those infected, and ensuring treatment completion. Public health measures like vaccination (BCG), proper ventilation, and education about transmission help reduce new cases. Regular screening in high-risk communities and prompt treatment of active cases are crucial, as TB spreads through the air when someone with active TB coughs or sneezes. Overall, TB control aims to identify cases quickly, provide effective care, and minimize transmission to protect individual and community health.
