Abstract:

Controlling the epidemic of tuberculosis is an inevitable requirement for implementing the Healthy China strategy and safeguarding the rights and interests of Chinese people’s life and health. Therefore, many local laws and regulations on tuberculosis prevention and control have been formulated in China, including government responsibilities, tuberculosis prevention and control measures, management measures for tuberculosis patients, and legal responsibilities, etc. However, challenges of tuberculosis prevention and control legislation still exist. Some provinces with high incidence of tuberculosis still have no local legislation on tuberculosis prevention and control, and some local laws and regulations need to be revised urgently. Based on the analysis of the current effective local laws and regulations for tuberculosis prevention and control, this paper puts forward suggestions to deal with the above challenges.

Key words: Tuberculosis, Communicable disease control, Legislation as topic
