The potential of community-based radiographic screening to end TB in India
WHO target product profile for TB detection at peripheral settings
In 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) published target product profiles (TPPs) which detailed minimal and optimal criteria to address high-priority TB diagnostic needs. Since then, the TB community’s needs have evolved; there has been a surge in new and innovative platforms suggesting use of alternative non-invasive specimens for TB diagnosis. This updated TPP used evidence-based modelling to guide the decision-making process for specific …
Engaging with the private healthcare sector for the control of tuberculosis in India
BACKGROUND: The control of tuberculosis (TB) in India is complicated by the presence of a large, disorganised private sector where most patients first seek care. Following pilots in Mumbai and Patna (two major cities in India), an initiative known as the 'Public-Private Interface Agency' (PPIA) is now being expanded across the country. We aimed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of scaling up PPIA operations, in line with India's National Strateg…
Field sales force model to increase adoption of a novel tuberculosis diagnostic test among private providers
BACKGROUND: Impact of novel high-quality tuberculosis (TB) tests such as Xpert MTB/RIF has been limited due to low uptake among private providers in high-burden countries including India. Our objective was to assess the impact of a demand generation intervention comprising field sales force on the uptake of high-quality TB tests by providers and its financial sustainability for private labs in the long run. METHODS: We implemented a demand genera…
Nations within a nation
BACKGROUND: 18% of the world's population lives in India, and many states of India have populations similar to those of large countries. Action to effectively improve population health in India requires availability of reliable and comprehensive state-level estimates of disease burden and risk factors over time. Such comprehensive estimates have not been available so far for all major diseases and risk factors. Thus, we aimed to estimate the dise…
