Abstract

Despite low TB incidence in Denmark, the disease disproportionately affects vulnerable groups. Implementation of screening, contact tracing, and preventive treatment remains fragmented. A national TB elimination plan, combining targeted outreach and social support, is needed to align with WHO goals and move toward elimination by 2050, as argued in this review.
