Discover RTC – Reimagining TB Care

Our guiding principles

Core values that will anchor and steer the RTC initiative

Change & challenge

Change how “we do business” in TB and global health and challenge entrenched interests, incentives, and infrastructure
Country-driven

Driven by the “hopes and dreams” and “wants and needs” identified and selected by the country end-users, stakeholders, and partners, particularly TB survivors, TB affected people and communities, care providers, Ministries of Health, country programmes, and local implementers
“Pilot to routine use”

Work with country end-users, stakeholders, and partners to rapidly and sustainably move services and product innovations from “pilot to routine use”
Equitable, inclusive & gender-responsive

Ensure objectives, activities, outputs, and outcomes are equitable, inclusive, and gender-responsive and helps to reduce critical barriers for TB affected people and communities, particularly the most marginalized
Country-to-country collaboration

Facilitate country-to-country collaboration to foster knowledge sharing, lessons learned, and partnerships between country end-users, stakeholders, and partners

Our key activities

2022

2022

Commence People-Centered Design (PCD) processes with country end-users (TB survivors, TB affected people/communities, care providers), stakeholders (Ministries of Health, country programmes), and partners (local implementers) in Uganda and Viet Nam to identify which services can be more decentralized, integrated, and people-centered and select product innovations that will facilitate this shift

Launch Innovations Sourcing Portal and build a Referral Partners Network to source potential product innovations, particularly DHTs and/or adjacent solutions, including from TB affected countries, that will facilitate decentralized, integrated, and people-centered services

Convene a series of Collaboration (Collab) workshops with country- and global-level end-users, stakeholders, and partners to discuss and identify tactical ideas on how to (1) catalyze more innovators, including from TB affected countries and that are women-led, to enter the TB and global health space, (2) develop product innovations, particularly DHTs and/or adjacent solutions, that will facilitate decentralized, integrated, and people-centered services, and (3) accelerate the roll-out of these product innovations

Lay the groundwork to connect and link country-selected, rolled-out product innovations, particularly DHTs and/or adjacent solutions, that will facilitate decentralized, integrated, and people-centered services in Uganda and Viet Nam with their information/case-based management systems

2023

2023

Conduct technical, programmatic, and financial due diligence on potential product innovations, particularly DHTs and/or adjacent solutions, that will facilitate decentralized, integrated, and people-centered services and select solutions to roll-out in Uganda and Viet Nam

Develop, update, endorse, and publish country-specific product innovation roll-out pathways for Uganda and Viet Nam

Implement the required product innovation roll-out stages and activities in Uganda and Viet Nam

Commence the development of innovative financing mechanism recommendations suitable for the RTC initiative
