Addressing Poverty in TB Control: Options for National TB Control Programmes

---

This book is directed specifically to national TB control programs and their partners. It is intended to help select and implement the steps needed to ensure that the guiding principles of equity and poverty reduction are translated into practical measures - and that these practical measures are integrated into the national TB services and linked to broader poverty alleviation efforts. Guidance is provided on how to identify the poor and vulnerable groups in the country, how to assess the main barriers they face in accessing TB services, and interventions to tackle and reduce these barriers.
