Modelling Course at the 44th Union World Conference on Lung Health

TB MAC will be running a one day TB modelling session, “An Introduction to TB Modelling” at this year’s Union World Conference on Lung Health.

Aimed at individuals interested in understanding or looking to start modelling tuberculosis and its contribution of modelling to support policy decision for TB care and control programmes, the course will introduce participants to the basic structures, assumptions, principles, and concepts of tuberculosis modelling. We will cover key aspects of Mtb natural history that affect modelling as well as the impact and cost-effectiveness of TB care and control programmes. Participants will get hands-on experience of using a simple TB model and will  learn  how to critically appraise tuberculosis modelling papers. The day finishes by highlighting the role of modelling for policy and decision-making, and how TB MAC supports this process.
