One Stop TB/DR-TB Diagnostic Solution (Hisar Model) engages the private sector to expand access to TB diagnostics, prevention, and care services. In the Hisar district of the state of Haryana in northern India, IDDS worked with the national TB program to engage a private laboratory to support timely TB testing and treatment for patients served by community-level health facilities. IDDS identified and integrated 44 private facilities into the newly developed “one-stop” TB testing model. Patients can now access testing and treatment at one local clinic, rather than moving between facilities as they did previously.
Results show that the new model increased access to rapid TB tests (specifically, rapid molecular testing) from 26% to 63% and drastically reduced the waiting period for patients to receive their test results. “The work in Hisar has the potential to change Hisar, India, and even the world,” said the chief medical officer for Hisar.
