Azerbaijan, Baku. Tuberculosis unit canteen. – For over ten years, the ICRC has been supporting the Azerbaijani and Armenian authorities in their fight against tuberculosis in prisons, using the strategy favoured by the WHO: DOTS (directly observed treatment, short course). Under this strategy, cases are identified and recorded in accordance with strict rules, medication is taken under close supervision and stocks are replenished regularly, to avoid any risk of interruption to treatment.
