Summary
This study tests a package of community support, family help, digital reminders, and healthcare worker training to improve how tuberculosis is found and treated in South Ethiopia.

What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could improve how TB is found and treated in communities, leading to better cure rates and fewer people lost to follow-up.
What could go wrong
