Abstract:

Tuberculosis (TB), a chronic infectious disease mainly transmitted by respiratory tract, has been a serious threat to human health for thousands of years. And it remains a public health and social issue of global concern. At present, the global TB epidemic is still serious. In order to understand the legal experience of international TB control, this paper focuses on searching the laws, regulations and related guidelines of some international organizations and countries, such as WHO, Japan, South Korea and Russia, making a comparative study on the following six aspects: legislation model, government responsibility, TB service system, prevention and control measures, protection of patients’ rights and coercive administrative measures, to provide reference for China’s TB control legislation construction.

Key words: Tuberculosis, Preventive health services, Law enforcement, Internationality
