Item Addressing challenges in tuberculosis adherence via performance-based payments for integrated case management: Protocol for a cluster randomized controlled trial in Georgia(BMC, 2019-08-28) Chikovani, Ivdity; Diaconu, Karin; Duric, Predrag; Sulaberidze, Lela; Uchaneishvili, Maia; Mohammed, Nuredin Ibrahim; Zoidze, Akaki; Witter, SophieBackground: Tuberculosis is one of the greatest global health concerns and disease management is challenging particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

Low remuneration for specialists, limited private-sector interest in provision of infectious disease care and incomplete integration in primary care are at the core of this problem.
