Editor's Notes
- The Portuguese National Health Service (NHS) aims at the comprehensive coverage on a universal basis and is predominantly funded through general taxation and comprises all services and public entities providing health care, namely: groups of primary care centers (ACES), hospitals and local health units (LHUs). NHS has a National Health Plan and the National Tuberculosis Program (NTP) is a part of it. TB diagnostic and treatment are delivery through NHS free of charge. NTP is managed by a national committee with seven regional branches, and it is responsible for the regulation, guidance and coordination of all TB activities, as well as defining the technical conditions for proper care and planning of national health policy. The program is centered on Primary Health Care and sustained by the Pulmonary Diagnostic Centers (CDP). CDP are responsible for the prevention, diagnostic (including contact tracing) and treatment of tuberculosis, in its many forms. These ambulatory services are constituted by family doctors, pulmonologists, nurses, X-ray technicians, and administrative staff, and it least there is one center in each district. Some of them also have pediatricians or infectious disease specialists in their staff.
