Abstract:
The paper presents a model of laboratory service in implementing a complex program aimed at detecting and treating patients with tuberculosis in the Tomsk Region. Organizational, methodological, and managerial measures to set up bacteriological stations and a main (reference) laboratory for microbiological sputum study in Tomsk, intensification of this work at all clinical-and-diagnostic laboratories of general health care facilities have improved the quality of the whole system detecting bacterial isolators and ensured a close organizational and methodological interaction between the therapeutic-and-diagnostic institutions of the general medical system and tuberculosis-controlling service.
