Ning Province conducts a variety of research on tuberculosis, including research on TB prevention issues, practical exchanges and introduction of epidemic prevention industries.

Among them, 64% of tuberculosis cases are from the Southeast Asia and Western Pacific regions where the new south is located. Vietnam is also a country with high burden of tuberculosis and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. Over the years, China has actively implemented prevention and treatment strategies for tuberculosis treatment (DOTS), high-risk group latent tuberculosis infection treatment, and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis medical care. The incidence of tuberculosis has been declining year by year. In 2017, it has fallen below 10,000 (the number of occurrences is 9,759). people). Nowadays, the economic and cultural exchanges with the new southward countries are becoming more frequent, and the impact on the tuberculosis epidemic in China is also expanding.
In order to implement the "talent exchange" of the new southward policy, the DHA not only conducts physical interaction with the province of Quang Ninh Province in Vietnam, but also plans to go to the local area to carry out epidemic prevention and deepening. It is hoped that through the two-way cooperation of sustainable development, the regional joint prevention of tuberculosis will be enhanced. The amount of energy can reduce the threat of cross-border epidemics to the health of the whole people, and work together to achieve the global goal of eliminating tuberculosis in 2035.
