TBCTA

Developed by the Tuberculosis Coalition for Technical Assistance (TBCTA) with funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the International Standards for Tuberculosis Care describe a widely accepted level of care that all practitioners, public and private, should seek to achieve in managing patients who have, or are suspected of having, tuberculosis. The standards are intended to facilitate the effective engagement of all care providers in delivering high-quality care for patients of all ages.
