TB Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)

exp date isn't null, but text field is

Transmission of TB is a recognized risk in health care facilities and communities, especially in resource-limited settings, where transmission is further facilitated by inadequate TB infection prevention and control measures. TB Infection Prevention and Control (TB-IPC) is a combination of evidence-based measures intended to prevent exposure and reduce the risk of TB transmission. These consist of administrative measures, environmental controls and respiratory protection. However, the early detection of TB and the prompt initiation of appropriate treatment is key to reducing transmission.
