Tuberculosis Prevention and Control

Tuberculosis (TB) prevention and control focuses on reducing the spread of this infectious disease. Key strategies include promoting vaccination with the BCG vaccine, early diagnosis and treatment of active TB cases, and regular screenings for high-risk populations, such as those with weakened immune systems. Public health education encourages good hygiene practices, like covering coughs and avoiding close contact with infected individuals. Proper ventilation in crowded spaces and ensuring access to healthcare are also vital. Overall, a combination of medical, social, and environmental efforts is essential to effectively control TB and protect public health.
