Study: India has a long way to reach zero catastrophic costs goal for TB patients georgeinstitute PLOSGPH
Reducing delays in diagnosis and treatment initiation can reduce the costs associated with TB treatment, its aftermath, and its related economic consequences. Creating awareness about the symptoms of TB in the community and availability of free diagnostic and treatment facilities in the government sector is crucial in this regard, they say.
Highlighting the importance of the study, Dr. Susmita Chatterjee, Senior Health Economist, The George Institute, India, said,"India bears the highest burden of TB in the world, with 26.4 lakh cases reported in 2019 alone. Not only does the disease impact the health of individuals, but it also has significant economic consequences and we quantified those consequences to take protective action.
Each participant was interviewed three times: once at the beginning of treatment then during the continuation phase of treatment when they were almost finishing their treatment, and finally post-treatment i.e., 8–12 months after treatment was completed.
