We evaluated the contribution of public-private collaboration between the Indian tuberculosis (TB) programme and the private health sector (including non-governmental organizations and private providers) to TB case-detection and treatment outcomes in Meerut district, India.
District TB registers from January 2001-June 2003 were reviewed.
The 2002 new AFB-positive case-notification rate (103/100,000 population) in Meerut exceeded national targets. Of the 7,062 new AFB-positive patients registered, 2,084 (29%) were detected at private sector microscopy and DOTS treatment centres; treatment outcomes met programme targets.
Public-private collaborations can be successfully implemented at the district level in India, and have the potential for substantial contributions to TB control efforts in India.
我们评估了印度北方邦密鲁特地区结核病规划与私营卫生部门(包括非政府组织和私营医疗服务提供者)之间的公私合作对结核病病例发现及治疗结果的贡献。
对2001年1月至2003年6月的地区结核病登记册进行了审查。
密鲁特地区2002年新发抗酸杆菌阳性病例报告率(每10万人口中103例)超过了国家目标。在登记的7062例新发抗酸杆菌阳性患者中,有2084例(29%)是在私营部门显微镜检查和直接观察短程治疗中心发现的;治疗结果达到了规划目标。
公私合作在印度地区层面能够成功实施,并且有可能为印度的结核病控制工作做出重大贡献。
