PPM Subgroup
Every day, in many parts of the world, thousands of TB patients risk their lives by accepting substandard TB services. Poor quality TB treatment not only causes unnecessary suffering and death with a high financial cost to patients and their families, but also damages the reputation of health facilities and health staff.
PPM, which stands for Public-Private and Public-Public Mix, is an effective solution to this problem. PPM promotes new approaches and partnerships for delivery of TB care by engaging all health care providers. PPM helps ensure that TB care is in line with International Standards for TB Care. This benefits all - the health provider, the sick patient, the TB programme, and ultimately, the public health of the entire population.
