Evaluation of social protection for people affected by tuberculosis: development of an indicator matrix for Brazil
This study presents an innovative evaluation tool to support managers and decision-makers in designing and improving social protection strategies within health policies for people affected by tuberculosis, while accounting for diverse local contexts. It aims to accelerate progress toward tuberculosis elimination by addressing poverty and other social determinants, and by protecting the human rights of people with tuberculosis and their families.
