A community based, bottom-up, multi-pronged, technology integrated approach to enhance tuberculosis related awareness and treatment adherence in Uganda: The ACTS model

AGB and ACF play a significant role in creating more awareness amongst the community members and identifying more number of cases. It helps in better treatment seeking behaviour, improved treatment rates and treatment adherence rates and in turn better cure rates. VOT is far more superior to DOTS, as a strategy for TB treatment adherence and VOT decreases the resources required in terms of human resource, time and money and is also a more sustainable mode of treatment adherence.
