(A) Harvard model. (B) TB Impact Model and Estimates model. The base case covers the period 2016–35, during which all coverage levels and treatment success rates were assumed to remain at a constant. Numbers of households are shown with 95% uncertainty ranges. Quintiles range from poorest (quintile 1) to richest households (quintile 5). DS-TB=drug-sensitive tuberculosis. MDR-TB=multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
