Abstract: The International Standards for Tuberculosis Care (ISTC) presents a set of widely-accepted, evidence-based standards that all practitioners, public and private, should seek to achieve. Because the purpose of the ISTC is to describe a widely accepted level of care that all practitioners should seek to achieve in managing all patients, the audience for the document is all healthcare practitioners, public and private. The scope of the ISTC is diagnosis, treatment, and public health responsibilities and it is intended to complement, not replace, local, national, and international guidelines.

Also available in Spanish, French, and Vietnamese.
