Case Study

Zambia – Intensified TB case finding with OneStopTB Clinic

Zambia mobile clinic

Intensified TB case finding was implemented under the Eradicate TB Project in Zambia’s highest TB burden province to improve TB notification rates.

High-burden province focus

The intervention targeted the province with the highest TB burden in Zambia.

Deployment at TB hotspots

The MOST Mobile Clinic was deployed for screening at 30 identified TB hotspots.

Result
  • TB notification increased by 49% through introduction of the mobile clinic.
Conclusion
  • “Use of the MOST clinic is making a significant contribution to TB case notifications in the Copperbelt Province in Zambia. Scaling up the MOST clinic innovation to other provinces could help close the gap between notified TB patients and estimated incidence”.
