Technical Brief 5: Comprehensive Tuberculosis Reforms Implemented at Oblast Level in the Kyrgyz Republic

SHARE THIS

Over the last decade, Kyrgyzstan has been transitioning toward greater ambulatory care for TB, with the provision of TB services at the primary health care (PHC) level. Since 2017, the reform of TB services has been proceeding according to the approved government roadmap for TB service optimization, which strives to reduce inconvenient and lengthy hospitalization of TB patients in favor of outpatient care.

To assess the quality of TB care and develop appropriate improvement strategies, the USAID Cure Tuberculosis project, led by JSI, conducted a Quality of Tuberculosis Services Assessment, a nationwide facility-based survey that provided comprehensive nationally representative data on the quality of TB care for the first time in Kyrgyzstan.
