The Union developed its first technical guide in the late 1970s to facilitate the knowledge and technology transfer between consultants with extensive field experience and low-income countries in the throes of establishing national tuberculosis control programmes and policies. Management of Tuberculosis in Low-Income Countries first appeared in 1978 and has since been updated four times and translated into French, Spanish, Russian, Indonesian, and Portuguese. More than 50,000 copies have been disseminated around the world. The widespread use of this first guide encouraged The Union to develop additional guides. The series now includes a series of 18 technical guides, in up to 5 editions and 9 language versions on conducting clinical trials, managing asthma, tobacco control, improving child lung health and other topics. Many are published in English, Spanish, and French. The Union also produces other educational resources such as CD-ROMs, videos, posters, and PowerPoint presentations.

To make these educational resources as broadly accessible as possible, most Union materials can be downloaded at no charge here.
