Health System Strengthening Quick Scan: a tool for identifying and addressing health system barriers to tuberculosis prevention, care and control

The Health System Strengthening Quick Scan is a tool for identifying and addressing health system barriers to tuberculosis (TB) prevention, care and control. It provides managers of national TB control programmes tools to assess the performance of the general health system in providing essential functions of the TB control programme. The Health System Strengthening Quick Scan was developed under the partnership between WHO and the Netherlands by the KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation. The Health System Strengthening Quick Scan is based on the WHO Stop TB policy paper: contributing to health system strengthening: guiding principles for national tuberculosis programmes.
