Abstract

Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a high-burden country for TB, with an estimated annual TB incidence rate of 432 per 100,000 population. There are major challenges to the provision of quality care for TB patients with high rates of loss to follow-up, and multidrug-resistant TB is increasingly detected. In 2022-2023, the second Structured Operational Research Training IniTiative (SORT-IT) for TB was undertaken. Eight participants completed the course, and the outputs from these research projects highlight important current operational issues for the PNG TB programme in a range of settings. The first four articles in the series are published in this issue of Public Health Action, with the remainder to follow in subsequent issues.
