Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that seriously endangers human health and is listed as one of the major infectious diseases in China. The Government of Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province has attached great importance to the prevention and control of TB for all time. By implementing various prevention and control measures, and continuously exploring innovative demonstrative measures, promoting steady decline of TB notification incidence in the city, the notification incidence of Huzhou always stays lower than the average level of Zhejiang Province. On the basis of establishing “Zero TB Community”, Huzhou City proposed to construct a “Zero Tuberculosis City” as the first one in China in 2023, to explore and implement new strategies and measures to accelerate the decline of TB epidemic, and strive to provide a practical model for achieving the goal of Ending TB Strategy. This paper discusses the main practices and considerations of the construction of “Zero TB City” in Huzhou City, provides a reference for ending TB work in TB low prevalence area.
