Infection prevention and control for drug-resistant tuberculosis in South Africa in the era of decentralised care: a whole systems approach

Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is a significant threat to global public health, and is estimated to account for one in four worldwide deaths attributable to antimicrobial resistance. In South Africa, DR-TB transmission within clinics is well documented. More clarity is needed on the extent to which exposure in clinics, compared with other community settings, drives ongoing transmission of DR-TB, so that resources to address the problem can be organised.

Guidelines for clinics concerning infection prevention and control (IPC) measures to reduce DR-TB transmission are readily accessible, and while there is wide evidence that recommended measures are not put into practice, it is not known why. A comprehensive approach to understanding barriers to implementation is required to design effective IPC interventions for DR-TB. Failure of IPC measures for DR-TB is often attributed to healthcare workers’ non-adherence to guidelines.

The team will examine how a health system supports IPC measures, as a whole. They will explore biological, environmental, infrastructural and social dynamics of DR-TB transmission in clinics in two provinces in South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape), with the aim of providing evidence for effective ways to improve IPC for DR-TB.
