ABSTRACT
The lack of integration between health care services network, in addition to the inefficiency of health professionals, are some of the identified problems for the control of Tuberculosis in Brazil. This study evaluated the level of implementation of the Tuberculosis Control Program (PCT) in Divinopolis (MG). The results signalize that PCT is partially implemented, due mostly to deficiencies related to management and planning, the insufficiency of trained professionals and insufficient resources. The decentralization of PCT actions and the enhancement of surveillance activities are signalized as possible solutions for the improvement of TB health care and prevention.
