In conclusion, the implementation of decentralized, integrated patient- and family-centred care and prevention improves access to health services and can potentially lead to increases in TB case notifications and case detection rates in children and adolescents, reduced time to diagnosis (and time to treatment), improved treatment success among children and adolescents started on TB treatment and TPT initiation, and improved rates of treatment completion.
