The campaign against tuberculosis in Finnmark in the first half of the 20th century was defined as a national responsibility. The Norwegian state and voluntary associations, the Norwegian Association against Tuberculosis prominent among them, initiated special measures against the disease in this multicultural county. It was considered important to increase the capacity for isolation of patients, but efforts to enhance the populations' cultural and social standards, particularly among the Sámi, were also prioritized. In the decades between wars, a stronger emphasis was placed on strict epidemiological measures. However, cultural concerns surfaced anew in a new medical and political context in the preventive work from 1952, in connection with implementation of mass miniature X-ray screenings in Finnmark.
20世纪上半叶，挪威芬马克郡的结核病防治工作被界定为一项国家责任。挪威国家和一些志愿协会，其中挪威抗痨协会尤为突出，在这个多文化的郡发起了针对该疾病的特别措施。增加患者隔离能力被认为很重要，但提高民众的文化和社会水平的努力，尤其是在萨米人当中，也被列为优先事项。在两次世界大战之间的几十年里，更加强调严格的流行病学措施。然而，在1952年开始的预防工作的新的医学和政治背景下，随着芬马克郡大规模微型X光筛查的实施，文化方面的问题再次浮现。
