TB Manual

In a federation, meeting the challenge of TB elimination is made more difficult by inherent differences in the delivery of health services across the country. Accordingly, each province and territory contributes parts of what, in sum, constitutes the national response. Every person with active TB in Canada matters, and by committing to the aspirational End TB targets, there is a recognition that every prevented case counts more than ever. The purpose of this chapter is to encourage TB program leads and staff to provide evidence to communities, the public at large, health authorities and governments of progress toward desired outcomes. The core program performance indicators described in this chapter are considered the minimum standard for all programs.
