Abstract:

Surveillance is a major component in modern tuberculosis (TB) control strategies. Timely, accurate and complete TB medical records and patients registration could promote the diagnosis and treatment of patients and public health system response. Therefore, a reliable TB management information surveillance system is important to monitoring and evaluating TB control and the progress, as well as to formulating policies and making decisions. Based on this, the authors reviewed the history and development of China’s TB management information surveillance system.
