WHO consolidated operational handbook on tuberculosis: module 4: treatment and care
Overview
The World Health Organization’s Global Programme on Tuberculosis & Lung Health (WHO/GTB) has integrated all existing implementation guidance into a single, unified set of consolidated tuberculosis (TB) operational handbooks. These handbooks are organized into modules, each tailored to specific programmatic areas.
Module 4: Treatment and care encompass all current practical guidance for managing drug-susceptible and drug-resistant TB, alongside patient care and support strategies. Developed according to WHO’s rigorous standards, the handbooks rely on the latest recommendations presented in the consolidated guidelines. Primarily aimed at National TB Programme (NTP) managers, they also support healthcare providers and technical organizations engaged in TB care.
An operational handbook accompanies the guidelines, providing practical advice for large-scale implementation.
