Understanding the Challenges

The World Health Organization recommends Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) as the standard treatment for TB, and it has been widely adopted globally. However, DOT places immense pressure on Nurses and TB clinics, which can compromise the success of TB management programs and lead to resource constraints and burnout. Consequently, the effectiveness of tuberculosis care is often compromised, further exacerbating the burden on healthcare systems. 

Common challenges associated with TB Treatment:

  • Cost and inefficiency: The traditional DOT approach is costly and inefficient, requiring significant resources across multiple areas.
  • Manual processes: Involves extensive paperwork and maintenance of multiple systems for patient record management.
  • Increased workload: Increased operational costs and added workload for nurses and healthcare workers.

The Digital Solution for Effective VDOT
