Introduction

The National tuberculosis and Leprosy Training Centre was established seventeen years ago, precisely in 1991. It is about four kilometers from Zaria town, along the old Zaria – Kaduna road, popularly called ‘layi.’ It has three mandates, patient care, training, and research on TB and Leprosy. It is not a surprise that the mandate has been extended consciously to cover for HIV/AIDS.

Structurally, the institution has recently been upgraded with enough facilities to handle international trainings on TB/HIV/AIDS. There are recently built clinics, laboratories, training classrooms, conference hall, library, hostel- they are designed to meet the standard of infection control in the facility. The centre also has a 24 hour wireless internet facility and a website to meet the challenges of international courses.
