A national survey was conducted during July to September 2009 to determine tuberculosis (TB) prevention activities, problems, and support needed of Thai hospitals. Ninety-seven percent of hospitals established TB isolation policy, 96.3% provided guidelines for caring of TB patients, 95% and 91.8% provided prevention of TB transmission and environmental management guideline, and 92.6% established screening system for TB in the outpatient department (OPD). A half of hospitals had problems with isolation rooms and difficulties in screening TB cases in the OPD. Support needed included consultation on structure and ventilation systems, personnel training, national TB prevention, and TB screening guideline. Strengthening TB prevention activities, providing expert consultation, and national guidelines may help hospitals improve their TB prevention activities.
2009 年 7 月至 9 月期间进行了一项全国性调查，以确定泰国医院的结核病（TB）预防活动、问题和所需支持。97%的医院制定了结核病隔离政策，96.3%为照顾结核病患者提供了指南，95%和 91.8%提供了结核病传播和环境管理指南，92.6%在门诊部（OPD）建立了结核病筛查系统。一半的医院在隔离室方面存在问题，并且在 OPD 中筛查结核病病例存在困难。所需的支持包括对结构和通风系统、人员培训、国家结核病预防和结核病筛查指南的咨询。加强结核病预防活动、提供专家咨询和国家指南可能有助于医院改善结核病预防活动。
