Understanding treatment initiation pathways and associated costs among people with pulmonary tuberculosis in a peri-urban area of Mozambique
A cross-sectional study
Datos Bibliográficos
Most people with TB symptoms sought care within two weeks but TB treatment initiation was delayed to nearly two months after symptoms onset. This suggests that delays in TB treatment initiation may be attributable to health system factors rather than the care-seeking behaviour of people with TB in Maputo, Mozambique. Additionally, there was a substantial financial burden of care-seeking exacerbated by additional healthcare provider visits. Evidence on interventions to address delays in diagnosis and treatment, and their associated health and socioeconomic impacts in Mozambique is urgently needed
