Why is it important?
This work is important because community-led monitoring brings the experiences of people affected by tuberculosis directly into service improvement. It helps identify barriers that routine health data may overlook, strengthens accountability, and supports more accessible, responsive and patient-centred TB care in the Kyrgyz Republic.
Perspectives
The findings can support the wider use of community-led monitoring across tuberculosis programmes in the Kyrgyz Republic. This approach may help improve services, guide policy decisions, strengthen cooperation between communities and health providers, and create a sustainable mechanism for identifying and addressing patient needs.
