Excerpt
After years of neglect, tuberculosis (TB) is now acknowledged as a major global health problem. The world’s growing number of refugees and displaced persons are at risk of both TB, and of inadequate TB treatment. In order to provide guidance to organizations (both government and non-government) on the implementation of effective TB control programmes in refugee situations, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) have collaborated to produce this Manual.
