The World Health Organization established eight guidelines for a new framework in countries with low incidence of tuberculosis (less than 100 cases per million population) to eliminate the disease. Although Chile does not belong to this group since its incidence rate is still 13 cases per 100,000, it is feasible to work in this new framework thanks to the strengths that present the national program. This article analyzes the Chilean situation regarding these guidelines, and determined that most of them have significant progress, but in those related to funding of public health activities and in the development of strategies with specific risk groups some still fail to go forward.
