WHO has published a new policy brief titled Integrated approach to tuberculosis and lung health, which emphasises the urgent need to prioritise and implement integrated, people-centred care. This document highlights the critical intersections between tuberculosis (TB) and other lung conditions, drawing attention to their overlapping risk factors and the growing recognition of post-TB lung disease.

The brief provides strategic insights into current gaps, needs, and opportunities to optimise the implementation of integrated lung health services. Building on established models such as the Practical Approach to Lung Health (PAL), it outlines practical actions for policymakers and programme managers to advance integration at national and subnational levels.
