We help clients get healthy and keep Tuberculosis (TB) from spreading to others.
We give free access to medications and support infected clients through the 9-month treatment process. We also conduct immigration medical surveillance to lower the risks in Peel.
Resources are available for:
- Health Care Providers to aid in the screening, diagnosis, treatment and reporting of latent and active TB.
- People with active TB or inactive (latent) TB.
- People newly arrived to Canada and residing in Peel who are placed on Medical Surveillance for inactive TB
- People who do not have health insurance and need access to services to diagnose and treat active TB (TB-UP) (PDF)
- Information for Community Partners
Information on TB is available in English and other languages.
