“…A study from Nigeria has recommended making less bulky and more precise NTP guidelines available at all levels of care, as well as training intensification for PPs to improve adherence (96). In another study, a Hub and Spoke model improved the referral system and uptake of GeneXpert testing after a coordinated engagement of private laboratories (97). In India, recognition of PPs as key stakeholders and equal partners, and formalization of partnerships enhanced transparency and trust between partners and a sense of accountability within PPM models (98).…”

For example, Nigeria achieved a 22% decrease ( appendix 2 pp 86–149 ), indicating that its novel active case-finding interventions with advanced surveillance in tuberculosis hotspots, 39 increase in diagnostic equipment and partnering with the private sector, 40 and economic incentives for patients 41 were effective in helping to achieve the milestone. In Tanzania, which achieved a 26% reduction ( appendix 2 pp 86–149 ), the national tuberculosis programme scaled up community-based interventions aiming to link individuals to tuberculosis services with proven effectiveness 42 while introducing an effective nationwide quality-improvement initiative in tuberculosis case finding.…”
