Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that often begins with uncharacteristic symptoms (cough, fatigue, mild fever, etc.) and primarily affects the lungs, but can also affect other organs. In order to prevent it from spreading in the body and infecting other people, it is important to recognize it early and start treatment with medication.

The Tuberculosis counseling tasks are:

• Identifying and screening persons in contact with persons with tuberculosis.
• Implementation of outpatient supervised antituberculous therapy
