Enhancing tuberculosis case notifications through mapping sales of medicine in the private sector: a quasi-experimental study in Punjab province, Pakistan

Mapping TB medicine sales in the private sector with tailored interventions can contribute to closing the gap in notifications where anti-TB drug sales in the private sector are prevalent.
