•In 1980s, history of therapeutic anarchy and incomplete treatment that led to drug‐resistance •A very good national TB program •Good coverage in urban slum areas•Decentralized; free•MDR‐TB was 3% of new cases and 15% of re‐treatment cases
PIH’ first MDR‐TB Project: Lima, Peru
August 1996DOTS‐Plus project initiated in Lima’s Northern Cone by PIH/SES and Harvard Medical School, with the Peruvian National TB Program
In‐patient Patients can be isolated from their communities Although care is available, they may not be able to access it if it is not available close to where they live
Less risk of nosocomial transmission
Care in the community Community member’s can become health promoters May understand/relate better to issues faced by patients Share language and culture Provides work to people in the local community
Historical tendency to treat everyone in hospitals since 1920th.
In late 1990th new system of TB care introduced, new rules and regulations, but less focused on ambulatory care.
Since 2000 PIH launched MDRTB program in Tomsk

S+/S‐ treatment results
Treatment results for new S+/S‐TB cases in Siberia and Far East
Data from MoHTB Report. 2008
Patients should be treated out patient for at least continuation phase; Ideally for the whole duration.
DOT points should be in a close proximity to patients.
Treatment at home should be provided in most cases.
For high‐risk TB patients patient‐centered approach needs to be established.
Some patients require assistance to finish treatment Need a system of accompaniment to help overcome barriers to treatment (this is different from simple DOT)
▪ Social supports▪ Nutritional supports▪ Family support
One Sputnik will look after three to five patients
Changes the burden of responsibility for adherence from the patient (“non‐compliant”) to the program (programmatic failure)
Responsibility for adherence rests with the program, not the patient.
Creation of patient‐centered, convenient and pleasant treatment atmosphere.
The name “Sputnik” is a translation of “accompagnateur”, which emphasize the role of nurses as patients’ companions or friends.
“SPUTNIK” Program
54 non‐adherent patients were enrolled on Sputnik program from December 17, 2006 to
November 31, 2008
51 patients finished the Sputnik program
3 patients were excluded later from Sputnik:‐ 2 patients refused to continue treatment (program failure)‐ 1 patient was re‐
examined and active TB was ruled out.
9 patients restarted new treatment course with
94.5% adherence [baseline adherence 0%]
42 patients continued previous treatment. Adherence increased from 54% before
enrolment on the program to 88% while on Sputnik, p<0.0001
PIH launched the Project in KZ in April 2010
