Interventions/Control_1

A cross-border TB patient Referral Mechanism:
i) The pathway of the mechanism in Japan
a) To make the mechanism publicly known through the home page of the Research Institute of Tuberculosis (RIT), JATA, Tokyo, Japan.
b) A public health center / a medical institution in Japan initially coordinates with the RIT through phone/fax/e-mail, followed by sending a TB patient referral form and an informed consent form to the RIT.
c) The RIT in Japan contacts with a relevant NTP staff at the country where the TB patient returns, asking to search a suitable health facility that the TB patient should access after he/she goes back, and to monitor his/her treatment status.
d) The RIT in Japan communicate with the public health center / the medical institution in Japan to provide the treatment status of the TB patient referred to his/her home country.
ii) The pathway of the mechanism in the TB patient home country:
a) The NTP concerned asks relevant agencies such as regional / provincial / city health office to search a suitable health center / medical institution that the TB patient should access.
