Economic burden of tuberculosis in Tanzania
A national survey of costs faced by tuberculosis-affected households
Bibliographic Data
We found that the cost of TB care is catastrophic for almost half of the TB-affected households in Tanzania; our findings support the results from other surveys recently conducted in sub-Saharan Africa. Collaborative efforts across health, employment and social welfare sectors are imperative to minimize household costs due to TB disease and improve access to care, patient adherence and outcomes
