Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) represents a large public
health threat globally. The economic burden of seeking
TB care places people at a high risk of financial hardship.
The World Health Organization’s End TB Strategy aims
to end TB and fully shield TB-affected households from
catastrophic costs by 2020 and beyond. We assessed the
impact of enhanced TB control on reducing TB-related
deaths and catastrophic costs in Ethiopia.
