Cost-effectiveness of in-kind nutritional support for impoverished persons with tuberculosis to reduce mortality and disengagement from care in India
BACKGROUND: Undernutrition is a leading risk factor for tuberculosis (TB) mortality and poor treatment outcomes. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of providing in-kind nutritional support to impoverished persons with TB (PWTB) in India. METHODS: We developed a Markov model comparing standard care with a household-level nutritional food-basket intervention. Model parameters were informed from systematic reviews and a recent cluster-randomised st…
Enhancing tuberculosis care in the private sector
India’s private sector plays a crucial role in the country’s tuberculosis (TB) healthcare landscape, with >50% of patients seeking initial care from private providers. Recognizing this critical role, the National Tuberculosis Elimination Program implemented and scaled up an innovative private sector engagement model, Patient Provider Support Agency (PPSA), in over 200 districts of the country in 2023 to improve TB care in the private sector. A cr…
The potential of community-based radiographic screening to end TB in India
TB stigma in India
In India, persons with tuberculosis (PWTB) and their households experience significant disease-related stigma. The objective of this narrative review was to conduct a review of existing literature related to the types of stigma experienced by PWTB and their household members, with a focus on the effects of stigma, possible interventions, and gender differences. A literature search was conducted on PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science using key sear…
Tuberculosis healthcare service disruptions during the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, India and South Africa

In recent years, stringent measures to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 have led to considerable disruptions of healthcare services for TB in many countries. The extent to which these measures have affected TB testing, treatment initiation and outcomes has not been comprehensively assessed. We aimed to estimate TB healthcare service disruptions occurring during the COVI…
