Quality treatment can bring in a remarkable difference to the re-occurring threat of TB in communities. Tuberculosis re-appearance is one of the widespread problems including higher rates of smoking and degradation of housing facilities. Need of the hour is to handle all these social problems but to cope up with TB, offering better treatment can help. TB is a disease caused by contaminated air that settles in lungs.

Along with practicing "directly observed therapy" (DOT) in order to make sure that for six to nine months medicine is taken regularly by the patients, NWT prefers initial careful observation and then follow the early detection technique to reduce the infections in the communities that are more at risk of having TB.

Also, vouchers are being given for making people visit the health clinical at least twice a week, as this can help in lessening the risk of spread of the disease because of well-aware and concerned patients.

Inuit have a rate of 157.5 per 100,000 people for TB while the rate of tuberculosis in NWT has been reported to 32 cases per 100,000 people, which is very high if seen according to the national rate of 4.8 per 100,000. To control the unacceptably higher rate of TB among folks, public health authorities emphasize on elevating the standard of health-care along with the plan of providing hygienic and healthier housing conditions.
