TB outbreaks in schools: experiences from the Western Pacific Region

The World Health Organization Regional Office for the Western Pacific released a report summarizing current evidence on TB outbreaks in schools and contextualizing the information within the Western Pacific Region. Case studies from four countries highlighted the diverse range of experiences in the Region. As many countries have minimal experience in preventing and responding to TB outbreaks in schools, evidence from past outbreaks and case studies from a few countries could inform future responses.
