TB and multi morbidity? The need for integrated care in the current financial landscape
This online event will be of interest to TB researchers and students, who will learn of key issues and what needs to be done in order to manage TB and multimorbidity effectively.
This seminar focuses on Pakistan where TB often coexists with diabetes, HIV, and malnutrition. Fragmented health services plus limited funding hinder effective care. Integrated, patient centered approaches at primary level are essential to improve outcomes, reduce costs, and build a resilient health system capable of managing TB and multimorbidity amid additional financial constraints of the recently-announced USAID cuts.
