Challenges with Scale-up of GeneXpert MTB/RIF® inUganda: a Health Systems Perspective

2020-02-13

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: Many high burden countries are scaling-up GeneXpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) testing for tuberculosis (TB) using a hub-and-spoke model. However, the effect of scale up on reducing TB has been limited. We sought to characterize variation in implementation of referral-based Xpert TB testing across Uganda, and to identify health system factors that may enhance or prevent high-quality im...
