Controlling Tuberculosis in South Africa
2019
This case study examines the use of both cost-effectiveness analysis and benefit-cost analysis to address the likely impacts of competing interventions to improve identification of patients with tuberculosis in South Africa. It considers the impacts of different methodological choices for valuing mortality risk reductions and morbidity risk reductions. The results suggest that all combinations of interventions reduced untreated active disease and are likely to result in substantial gains compared to existing interventions.
