Since there are variations in policy and guidelines by country, the course cannot reflect country- specific regulations. This course presents general principles of TB control. Just as the ISTC, this course is intended to complement, not replace, national, and international guidelines. For specific details about local policies, you should refer to your national TB control guidelines.
