HIV treatment support services in Tanzania: a cost and efficiency analysis at facility and community levels.

This study assessed the costs of treatment support services at 27 sites in Tanzania. The cost analysis found that the average unit cost of treatment support services is US$39 per patient per year. The analysis found that community-based models have clear advantages with regard to the number of patients that can be reached with support services. Costing data indicated that community-based models are also less expensive. The lack of data on retention limited any conclusions about whether community-based models are the most effective within the Tanzanian context. PMID: 31779578 [PubMed - in process]
