7.4.8. Making TB services more adolescent-friendly

As part of the review for the background question on adolescents, a group of experts was convened to propose actions for optimizing adolescent engagement in TB care. The proposed actions focused on two areas: reforming current practices that are harmful to adolescents with TB; and developing an adolescent-specific plan within each NTP to provide high-quality adolescent-centred TB services.
Box 7.6 summarizes the proposed interventions.
