Developing new and innovative interventions to improve tuberculosis (TB) care services use and successful treatment are essential to the global efforts to end TB. There is a limited scope on the overall impact of these interventions because most studies focus on interventions’ capacity to enhance specific TB care outcomes. Evaluating existing evidence to ascertain the effect TB interventions on overall care cascade outcomes is paramount to informing holistic TB control strategies What did the researchers do and find?
