Who needs community-based TB care?

1. Individuals diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) require community-based TB care. This includes both newly diagnosed TB cases and those who relapse after prior treatment.
2. Patients who are unable to access or afford specialized healthcare services for TB require community-based care to ensure timely diagnosis, treatment initiation, and sustained follow-up.
3. Vulnerable populations, such as people living in poverty, individuals with compromised immune systems (e.g., HIV/AIDS patients), and those who have limited access to healthcare facilities, greatly benefit from community-based TB care programs.
4. Community-based TB care also plays a crucial role in preventing the transmission of the disease by actively identifying and treating latent TB infection within high-risk populations, such as household contacts of TB patients.
5. Efforts should be made to prioritize community-based TB care for individuals residing in areas with a high TB burden, including densely populated urban areas, refugee camps, or communities with limited healthcare infrastructure.
