Resumen
Descripción
This report summarizes the findings of
an allocative efficiency study of Romania’s Tuberculosis
(TB) response, which was conducted using the Optima-TB
model. The analysis was conducted to support Romania in its
decision-making on strategic TB investments during the
current National Strategic Plan for the Control of
Tuberculosis in Romania (NSP, 2015‒20) and up to 2030. The
analysis highlights the potential for Romania to maximize
its impact on the TB response by reallocating spending on
unnecessary hospitalization to increase the coverage of
ambulatory care, treatment of drug-resistant TB and enhanced
and active case finding in congregate community settings and
high-risk areas.
