Moral principles guiding tuberculosis prevention strategies.

Comprehensive plan to reduce TB incidence and mortality globally.

Different stages of preventing TB: primary, secondary, tertiary.

Key events leading to the understanding and treatment of tuberculosis.

Treatment strategy to ensure patients complete TB therapy effectively.

Actions to inhibit emergence of risk factors in populations.

Measures such as improving living conditions and education to prevent risk factors.

Actions taken to prevent disease before it occurs, targeting the pre-pathogenesis phase.

Includes health promotion and specific protection like vaccinations.

Activities aimed at enhancing well-being to prevent diseases.

Actions to halt disease progress at an early stage to prevent complications.

Includes early diagnosis through screenings and timely treatment.

Adjustments to surroundings to eliminate health hazards and promote prevention.

A TB-free world with zero deaths, disease, and suffering from TB.

End the global tuberculosis epidemic by reducing deaths and incidence.

Targets to reduce TB deaths by 75% and TB incidence by 50% by 2025.

Aim for 95% reduction in TB deaths and 90% reduction in incidence by 2035.

Government accountability, community involvement, and human rights focus in TB control.

Identifying vulnerabilities in disease transmission to control outbreaks.

Actions aimed at eradicating, eliminating, or minimizing disease impact.

Understanding disease distribution, history, and transmission dynamics.

Measures to reduce impairments and promote adjustment in advanced disease stages.

Efforts to minimize the impact of disease-related disabilities.

A vaccine primarily used for tuberculosis prevention in healthy individuals.

Treatment to boost the immune system in HIV patients.

Treatment to prevent progression to active TB in at-risk individuals.

Conditions that increase susceptibility to tuberculosis infection.

Support for adjusting to life with disabilities due to illness.

Framework for managing infectious diseases: Cases, Contacts, Carriers, Community.

Monitoring for the presence of disease in populations to implement timely interventions.

Separation of individuals who may have been exposed to a disease to prevent its spread.
