Accelerator to End TB (including MDR/RR- TB) in India

Strengthening service delivery platforms to deliver high-quality patient-centered TB and MDR/RR-TB services by:

• Maximizing the impact of quality prevention, diagnostic and treatment services

• Working in both public and private facilities across all cadres of personnel

• Ensuring the right knowledge, skills and attitudes, in the right places with the right motivation

• Modeling differentiated patient-centric care using strategies and approaches generated through state-of-the-art tools and evidence

Demonstrating community-led, person-centered prevention, care and support models by:

• Testing models where communities and families are instrumental in delivering differentiated care for populations that may have unique challenges accessing services

• Designing custom made services tailored to the needs of vulnerable people such as those with MDR/RR-TB, children, people living with HIV, diabetics, tobacco users and alcohol dependents, and more

• Enabling women to overcome stigma, discrimination and other barriers in accessing TB services

• Measuring the impact of community-based activities and associated costs to the patient and the health system

The Pillars

Create an enabling environment

• Propose evidence- based solutions to address bottlenecks that hinder an enabling environment

• Take a holistic approach to the needs and environment of people affected by TB including MRD/RR-TB

• Focus on positive interventions that do not further stigmatize or prevent access

• Acknowledge the importance of positive, inclusive language

• Put the patient at the center of action

Use innovative financing approaches

• Identify innovative solutions for patient side and facility side financing challenges

• Propose effective approaches to reduce the financial burden on individuals and families affected with TB

• Identify financing approaches that can improve institutions’ ability to cost-effectively bring state-of-the-art diagnosis, treatment and care to those affected by TB, while focusing more on results and outcomes

Cross-cutting areas Deploy effective digital technologies to amplify impact

• Solve gaps across any part of the prevention, care and treatment cascade (i.e. the patient, frontline workers, labs, physicians, etc.)

• Address concerns around care seeking, screening, diagnostic and notification, treatment initiation, and adherence and treatment support

• Explore solutions beyond the initial innovation stage, and have some degree of market readiness are preferred

• Provide access in rural and remote areas with limited connectivity and electricity

W ha t w e ar e lo ok in g fo r • Evidence-based ideas, including creativity of the given approach and clear differentiation from existing approaches

• Cost-conscious and adaptable for Indian settings, particularly at the sub-national level

• Ability to be scaled rapidly and cost effectively in an Indian context

• Strong likelihood of achieving a substantial impact

• Ability to make significant improvements within the first year of demonstration

W e ar e

N O

T lo ok in g fo r • Research that does not provide a clear path to development and testing of intervention strategies

• Solutions that are less efficacious than current technologies or approaches

• Proven approaches that are already in use in the field

• Basic research, clinical trials or laboratory-intensive research

• Discovery science, capacity-building-only initiatives, ongoing programmatic funding or infrastructure development
