Abstract:

Primary healthcare institutions are an important part of Chinese tuberculosis (TB) prevention and control service system, serving as the foundational units in TB prevention and control. Health education runs through the whole TB prevention and treatment, and is an important work responsibility that they should undertake. The ability and service quality of primary healthcare institutions to carry out TB health education are crucial to the effectiveness of TB epidemic control. The National Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Plan (2024—2030) clearly states that it is necessary to strengthen the responsibilities of primary healthcare institutions and comprehensively enhance the quality and level of TB prevention and control services. On April 2, 2025, the social organization standard Tuberculosis health education standard in primary medical and health institutions (T/CHATA 048—2025) was officially released and implemented on the same day. This standard provides normative guidance on work safeguards, content and methods, as well as evaluation and application of TB health education in primary healthcare institutions. This article interprets the core points of the standard to facilitate its scientific application by primary healthcare institutions nationwide, standardize TB health education practices, and support the high-quality implementation of measures outlined in the national plan.
