Abstract in brief

  • The study found that, in India, patients with tuberculosis who did not receive direct benefit transfers (DBT) were much more likely (about 6 times) to have poor treatment outcomes, highlighting the importance of DBT in improving TB treatment success.
  • Challenges identified include patients not having bank accounts to receive transfers and feeling that the monetary assistance was not enough for nutritious food, which is crucial during TB treatment.
  • Patients and program staff suggested that increasing the amount of financial aid and providing monthly nutritious food kits could help improve treatment completion and overall outcomes.
