Identification and Management of Refugees at Risk of Drug-Resistant TB
Asylum seekers and refugees are at high-risk of reactivation of Tuberculosis. Early screening, particularly to detect active TB, is vital to exclude ongoing transmission and ensure treatment success.
The aim of this programme is to rapidly identify Ukrainian refugees at risk of TB and manage appropriately in the community by local TB teams or refer into hospitals.

In this TV show, Dr Simon Barry introduces the All Wales Guideline for the Management of Refugees at risk of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis.
The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine has prompted the arrival of refugees into the UK, resulting in an impending public health crisis, both for:
- Individuals with MDR-TB who are at risk of poorer health outcomes due to delays in diagnosis and initiation of treatment
- And local communities who are at risk of transmission of infection
This guideline was produced in response to an increase in the arrival of refugees from countries with high incidence of drug-resistant or multi drug-resistant TB, such as Ukraine.
