- Advantages The document is an evidence-based policy for the implementation of sound tuberculosis (TB) infection control by all stakeholders. New areas in this policy include: • a special focus on design of buildings and use of space; • increased emphasis on particular activities such as: – integration with other health-system efforts – greater involvement of civil society in the design, development, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of TB infection control – greater emphasis on selective administrative controls (e.g. reduction of time spent in health-care facilities) – provision of a package of HIV prevention, treatment and care measures for health workers.
