The XVII International Training Course on Tuberculosis Control will be organized in August 2012 in Tartu, Estonia

The announcement and preliminary programme of the 2012 Course will be published on this site shortly. Meanwhile, you may look at the materials of the previous training course.

Filha is organising in collaboration with the National Tuberculosis Programme (NTP) of Estonia, the Tartu University Clinics under the auspices of the Union and the WHO the 16th International Course on Tuberculosis Control for countries in the WHO European Region with special emphasis on Eastern Europe and countries of the former Soviet Union. Since 1996, several managers of national and regional TB programmes and physicians from other agencies involved in TB control have participated in this course. The course contents and conduct has much changed during the years. The rapidly changing epidemiological situation has created new challenges in TB control and the training course has been modified to address these issues.

This course provides an opportunity to bring together a faculty of experts and specialists participating in the course to discuss the complex issues and challenges in clinical practice and program management.
