Improving Tuberculosis Care with BeSci

In Moldova, a project seeking to improve patients’ adherence to tuberculosis treatment protocol found that patients whose treatment was observed remotely via video were twice as likely to take their medication (87 percent) compared to patients who were legally required to make daily in-person visits to the clinic (43 percent) – the latter presenting barriers being a costly and time-consuming process. One key success factor was the “social” connection between patients and observers, which is correlated with higher adherence.
