The Philippines’ policy and strategic direction for tuberculosis (TB) control and elimination are prescribed in Republic Act (RA) No. 10767: Comprehensive TB Elimination Plan Act of 2016, or the TB Law. The law mandates the Department of Health (DOH) to develop and lead the implementation of the 2017-2022 Philippine Strategic TB Elimination Plan Phase 1 (PhilSTEP1), the first in a series of national strategic plans that aim to move the country towards its vision of a TB-free Philippines.
