Engaging Newcomers in Canada's TB Elimination Strategy
Tuberculosis (TB) disproportionately affects newcomers in Canada, and we are committed to ensuring their voices shape the future of care.
To address this challenge, N4 is leading an engagement collaborating with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) to inform the Development of a TB Elimination Strategy, which is being developed by a Federal, Provincial, Territorial, and Indigenous TB Task Group.
