Effective 10 January 2022…due to a critical clinic staffing shortage the Tuberculosis Center will be limiting latent TB services in order to focus on managment of active TB and community prevention efforts. We apologize for this inconvenience and remain optimistic in our recruitment processes to allow us to go back to normal operations by 1 April 2022.
