    Collaboration between private pharmacies and national tuberculosis programme: an intervention in Bolivia
    (Wiley, 2005) Michel Lambert; R Delgado; Geneviève Michaux; A. Vols; Niko Speybroeck; Patrick Van der Stuyft
    The first phase of the intervention proved effective in reducing the availability of the main TB drugs in pharmacies, and in improving referral of clients seeking TB drugs. Key factors in this success were not specific to Bolivia, and collaboration between private pharmacies and public services appears possible in that respect. However, collaboration with pharmacies does not seem an efficient way to increase the number of patients screened for TB, and to shorten delays to TB diagnosis and treatment.
