TB management among older adults in China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Singapore

TB management experiences were mapped based on three main domains: case finding and detection, treatment, and prevention. The relevant policies and interventions are tagged to the respective implementing countries. Areas shaded in grey represent cross-cutting interventions that extend beyond the older adult population. Treatment support was historically known as directly observed treatment (DOT)
