  • Health and tuberculosis systems resilience, the role of the private sector and pandemic preparedness

    Open AccessLaura Jane Brubacher, Vijayashree Yellappa et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic was an unprecedented challenge to health systems worldwide and had a severe impact on tuberculosis (TB) case notifications and service delivery. India, Indonesia and Nigeria are high TB-burden countries where the majority of initial care-seeking happens in the private health sector. The objectives of this study were to (1) explore policy-makers’ perspectives on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on private sect…

  • Should neighbours of tuberculosis (TB) cases be prioritised for active case finding in high TB-burden settings? A prospective molecular epidemiological study

    Open AccessRaspati Cundarani Koesoemadinata, Stephen Mcallister et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    Introduction In high tuberculosis (TB)-burden countries, considerable transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tb ) likely occurs outside of households. We aimed to estimate the TB prevalence and incidence in households and neighbourhoods around known TB cases and to understand transmission patterns. Methods Household and neighbourhood contacts of pulmonary TB index cases from contiguous areas in Bandung, Indonesia, were screened and follo…

  • Determinants of adherence towards tuberculosis guidelines among Indonesian private practitioners

    Open AccessBony Wiem Lestari, Nur Afifah et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    INTRODUCTION: In high tuberculosis (TB) burden countries, the private sector manages a large proportion of initial visits by presumptive patients with TB. In Indonesia, the second largest contributor of TB cases globally, private practitioners (PPs) often do not adhere to national TB guidelines. A district public-private mix programme to mitigate this issue was started in 2019, yet engagement remains low. This study examines what affects the deci…

  • Tuberculosis care provided by private practitioners in an urban setting in Indonesia

    Open AccessBony Wiem Lestari, Panji Fortuna Hadisoemarto et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    In Indonesia, government-owned Community Health Centers (CHCs) spearhead tuberculosis (TB) care at the primary level, but a substantial proportion of individuals with pulmonary TB also seek care from Private Practitioners (PPs). However, little is known about PPs’ practice in managing patients with TB-associated symptoms. To avoid bias associated with self-administered surveys, we used standardized patients (SPs) to evaluate PPs’ adherence to the…

  • The shifting landscape of private healthcare providers before and during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessRodiah Widarna, Nur Afifah et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Introduction COVID-19 pandemic changed many aspects of healthcare services and deliveries, including among private healthcare providers (i.e., private healthcare facilities [HCFs] and private practitioners [PPs]). We aimed to compare the spatial distribution of private providers and describe changes in characteristics and services offered during and before the COVID-19 pandemic, and explore the tuberculosis (TB) and COVID-19-related services offe…

  • Care pathways of individuals with tuberculosis before and during the Covid-19 pandemic in Bandung, Indonesia

    Open AccessLavanya Huria, Bony Wiem Lestari et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The COVID-19 pandemic is thought to have undone years’ worth of progress in the fight against tuberculosis (TB). For instance, in Indonesia, a high TB burden country, TB case notifications decreased by 14% and treatment coverage decreased by 47% during COVID-19. We sought to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on TB case detection using two cross-sectional surveys conducted before (2018) and after the onset of the pandemic (2021). These surv…

  • Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on quality of tuberculosis care in private facilities in Bandung, Indonesia

    Open AccessAngelina Sassi, Bony Wiem Lestari et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Results indicate that providers successfully identify tuberculosis in their patients yet do not manage them according to national guidelines. There were no major changes found in quality of tuberculosis care due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As tuberculosis notifications have declined in Indonesia due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there remains an urgent need to increase private provider engagement in Indonesia and improve quality of care

  • Barriers and strategies to successful tuberculosis treatment in a high-burden tuberculosis setting

    Open AccessIvan Surya Pradipta, Lusiana R Idrus et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The main treatment barriers can be considered to strengthen patient-centred care for TB patients in Indonesia. A multi-component approach including TB patients, healthcare providers, broad community and policy makers is required to improve TB treatment success
