In August 2022, the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the Stop TB Partnership announced a new US$ 5.5 million project to further expand decentralized, integrated, and people-centered care. The project’s goal is to accelerate the sustainable roll-out (i.e., introduction, adoption, and scale-up) of product innovations, particularly digital therapeutic technologies (DTx), that will facilitate decentralized, integrated, and people-centered care in Uganda and Viet Nam.
