Two years after the starting date for global implementation of the new Tuberculosis (TB) Action Plan for the WHO European Region 2016–2020 and the WHO End TB Strategy, it is time to take a deeper look at practices in one of the most challenging areas of TB prevention and control: that of care in correctional facilities. We are pleased to announce the publication of this first compendium of good practices in the prevention of and care for TB and multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant (M/XDR-) TB in prisons.
