Our primary aim is to promptly identify individuals with tuberculo sis (TB) who seek care at our institution following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

It is an essential tool in strategic planning, which provides information for the implementation of actions and corrective measures in the generation of new improvement projects. The internal situation of the institution was evaluated to determine SWOT after the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to strengthen VET, through field epidemiological surveillance.

Results

The on-call service has an adequate control of the TB population that enables coordination and joint work with other programs (HIV), response capacity of the institution to outbreaks, epi demics and pandemics.

Discussion

This will provide valid and reliable information for the prevention and control of TB in the institution after the COVID-19 pandemic.
