Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) is a critical global health issue, with World Health Organization (WHO) targets for incidence reduction not being met.
  • Factors contributing to failure include resource constraints, conflict, instability, and generalized HIV epidemics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To initiate an ethical debate on TB control strategies.
  • To critically examine the WHO's TB control policies and identify reasons for their ineffectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Macro-level analysis of TB control within a philosophical context.

Main Results:

  • The study problematizes TB control at a macro political level.
  • It analyzes healthcare professionals' ethical approaches to TB patients at a micro level.

Conclusions:

  • The current WHO TB control policies require ethical re-evaluation.
  • Addressing both macro-political and micro-ethical dimensions is crucial for improving TB control outcomes.
