Costs that are partially covered include: medical consultations, hospitalizations, emergency room and critical care unit, laboratory and all the diagnostic procedures available.
The availability of basic supplies for the TB control program (trained staff, TB control unit, laboratory service for sputum smear microscopy [microscopy and reagents], anti TB drugs, others such as availability of water and electric power supplies).
The specific sections visited at each Hospital were the: dental clinic, incineration unit, laboratory, labour ward, laundry, medical ward, mortuary, outpatient department, paediatric ward, surgical ward and operating theatre.
Since services for TB patients can be delivered at several outpatient units in collaboration with other units (DOTS units, laboratories, medical records units, etc), the findings also reflected the complexity of internal linkages between those different micro systems involved in delivering TB care in hospitals.
In order to evaluate the performance of existing Micro-CHP units, laboratory tests were conducted at Reutlingen University.
Most used their funds on structural improvements such as renovating maternity units, laboratory or operating theatres as well as purchasing drugs, equipment or supplies.
