You are welcome to attend our symposium “TB prevention among high-risk migrants in low-burden countries” online. The symposium is organized to celebrate the successful completion of the ZonMW funded TB ENDPoint project.
Tuberculosis (TB) can be prevented through detection of persons with latent TB infection (LTBI) and provision of TB preventive treatment (TPT) among those who have LTBI. Among other at-risk populations, the World Health Organization recommends countries with low burden of TB to consider providing TPT to migrants from high burden countries.
The TB ENDPoint project studied the implementation of LTBI screening and TPT through optimized approaches and assessed the cost-effectiveness of the intervention for various high TB risk migrant populations.
During this symposium we will recapture and discuss the results of the TB Endpoint project, as well as the experiences from other European low TB incidence countries with
