Optimizing delivery strategies for 3HP TB preventive treatment in Tanzania
Tanzania rolled-out a 12-dose, weekly regimen of isoniazid plus rifapentine (3HP) TB preventive treatment in January 2024. The 3HP completion rate is generally ≥80%, varying by delivery strategy and programmatic setting. Before the roll-out, a mixed methods study was conducted to assess whether a family approach involving family member support, SMS reminders, and three health education sessions was acceptable and optimized 3HP uptake and completi…
New admissions and asymptomatic TB cases seem to fuel TB epidemic in prisons, a cross sectional survey in Tanzania
There is an increased risk for tuberculosis (TB) infection and disease progression in prison settings. TB prevalence in prisons in low- and middle-income countries have been measured to be up to 50 -times higher than in the general population. The aim of the study was to perform active TB screening and estimate the burden of TB in central prisons in Tanzania mainland. We performed TB active case finding in five central prisons, Keko, Segerea, Uko…
Implementing Innovative Approaches to Improve Health Care Delivery Systems for Integrating Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases Using Tuberculosis and Diabetes as a Model in Tanzania
Background: Many evidence-based health interventions, particularly in low-income settings, have failed to deliver the expected impact. We designed an Adaptive Diseases Control Expert Programme in Tanzania (ADEPT) to address systemic challenges in health care delivery and examined the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of the model using tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) as a prototype. Methods : This was an effectiveness-impl…
Honestly, this problem has affected me a lot”
Chronic respiratory diseases have substantial social and economic impacts among people with CRD and their families in Sudan and Tanzania. Stigma is particularly strong and appears to be driven partly by association of chronic cough with infectiousness. Context-appropriate measures to address economic impacts and chronic cough stigma are urgently needed as part of interventions for chronic respiratory diseases in these sub-Saharan African contexts
HIV testing and linkage to care—A case of a mobile diagnostic and counseling service in Mbeya, Tanzania; A quantitative study
HIV-care programmes are faced with significant challenges in getting newly diagnosed People Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLHIV) linked to care despite massive investment in HIV prevention, treatment and care. This study assessed the performance of mobile HIV Testing and Counseling service (mHTC) in provision of HIV-testing and linkage to care of newly diagnosed PLHIV from Key and Vulnerable Populations (KVPs). A retrospective review …
Experiences and perceptions of participants on the pathway towards clinical management of dual tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus in Tanzania
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common comorbidity among people with tuberculosis (TB). Despite the availability of guidelines on how to integrate dual TB/DM in Tanzania, the practice of integration at various healthcare levels is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To explore the participants' experiences and perceptions on the pathway towards clinical management of dual TB/DM. METHOD: The research was carried out in Dar es Salaam, Iringa, and Kilimanja…
Unlocking the health system barriers to maximise the uptake and utilisation of molecular diagnostics in low-income and middle-income country setting
BACKGROUND: Early access to diagnosis is crucial for effective management of any disease including tuberculosis (TB). We investigated the barriers and opportunities to maximise uptake and utilisation of molecular diagnostics in routine healthcare settings. METHODS: /rifampicin (MTB/RIF) and Line Probe Assay (LPA) as a benchmark, we evaluated the barriers and how they could be unlocked to maximise uptake and utilisation of molecular diagnostics. R…
Adaptation of WHO’s generic tuberculosis patient cost instrument for a longitudinal study in Africa
The WHO developed a generic ‘TB patient cost survey’ tool and a standardized approach to assess the direct and indirect costs of TB incurred by patients and their households, estimate the proportion of patients experiencing catastrophic costs, and measure the impact of interventions to reduce patient costs. While the generic tool is a facility-based cross-sectional survey, this standardized approach needs to be adapted for longitudinal studies. A…
Caregiver perspectives on TB case-finding and HIV clinical services for children diagnosed with TB in Tanzania
Caregivers of children with tuberculosis (TB) and HIV play a critical role in seeking healthcare for their children. To assess the perspectives of caregivers of pediatric TB patients, we conducted 76 in-depth interviews at 10 TB clinics in 5 districts of Tanzania in March 2016. We assessed how the child received their TB diagnosis, the decision-making process around testing the child for HIV, and the process of linking the child to HIV treatment …
