Summary of the Public Health Network's Guidance for Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Programs in Canada.

Public health professionals engaged in the fight against tuberculosis (TB) in Canada face unique challenges due to the nature of the disease and its underlying risk factors. In 2012, provinces and territories reported 1,686 new active and re-treatment TB cases to the Public Health Agency of Canada. Foreign-born people accounted for the majority of reported TB cases, while the reported incidence rate remained highest among Canadian-born Aboriginal people (1). The purpose of this article is to summarize the key findings from Guidance for Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Programs in Canada published by the Pan-Canadian Public Health Network (2).
