Description
Active Case Finding (ACF) is a proactive approach to identify individuals with undiagnosed TB in a community or specific high-risk populations. Unlike passive case finding, which relies on patients seeking care, ACF involves actively reaching out to individuals through various strategies to detect TB early and initiate treatment promptly. This approach is critical for reducing transmission, morbidity, and mortality associated with TB.
