Key Impacts

What happens when people with drug-resistant TB are not supported by the community? A survival analysis in Indonesia

Community assistance significantly increases the survival probability of DRTB patients to complete treatment and reduces the risk for iLTFU/LTFU during the treatment period compared to patients who are not assisted by the community.
