[4/4] "Migrant populations entering Europe have poorer TB outcomes than native populations. As cases of TB are rising in Europe, we need urgent robust strategies to strengthen screening, rapid diagnosis, and treatment in these hard-to-reach populations" – Dr Heinke Kunst

[3/4] Recommendations include screening migrants for TB/latent TB according to country data; a minimal package for TB care in drug susceptible/resistant TB; implementation of migrant-sensitive strategies; free healthcare & preventive treatment for migrants with HIV co-infection
