The TA’s support resulted in improved clinical skills and operational capacity. This was achieved through a combination of on-site and remote clinician training, with a focus on DR-TB management. Support to the Centre of Excellence for Resistant and Paediatric Tuberculosis facilitated the sharing of best practices and strengthened TB response. Advocacy and systematic mentoring activities led to the decentralization of TB management to provincial levels. This shift has insured better handling of complex TB cases​​.
