India has the world’s largest TB epidemic, accounting for one-quarter of TB incidence and one-third of TB deaths globally. Given that TB is highly curable in the vast majority of cases, improving implementation of health services in resource-constrained settings is critical for bending the curve to accelerate TB elimination. This talk will focus on the World Health Organization SORT IT model of capacity building in operational research in low- and middle-income countries. Using case studies, this talk will highlight the role of operational research in shaping health care delivery and provide examples of how this research approach transformed key policies within India’s National TB Elimination Programme.
