How does your innovation work?
The pilot involved nearly 1,300 TB patients at 17 treatment centers with 9 counselors, and showed a reduction in the default rate to about 1%. The next step is more rigorous testing, which will occur through this project effort. The study will involve 200 DOTS centers and over 12,000 patients in India. OpASHA will collaborate with Poverty Action Lab – MIT/ University of Cape Town.
