Study notes
A district compares two TB strategies by cost per cure — the cheaper-effective wins. Health economics (cost-effectiveness — rupees per DALY averted; QALY — quality-adjusted life years): with scarce budgets, the analysis directs rupees where they save most lives — DOTS beats hospital-centric care per rupee. Planning cycle (assess needs → set priorities → implement → monitor → evaluate) keeps programs honest. The spreadsheet is a moral document — allocation is triage at scale.
