Abstract

The Uganda Episcopal Conference (UEC) collaborated with Nsambya Hospital to enhance the uptake and decrease refusal rates of tuberculosis (TB) preventive treatment (TPT) during the national “TPT Last Mile” campaign. This study focuses on the implementation of a three-month once-weekly regimen, specifically targeting people living with HIV (PLHIV).
