According to TBpeopleUkraine, almost 1.5 thousand users have registered with OneImpact over the entire period, 279 of whom have asked for targeted assistance. Among them: 106 were women and 157 were men, 16 people applied for treatment of children.

The most common problems people seek help for are:

  • costs associated with TB treatment;
  • side effects of drugs;
  • discrimination;
  • lack of access to treatment and the necessary equipment;
  • poor quality of TB treatment.

The TBpeople Ukraine team managed to work through 230 requests,49 are in progress. Olga Klimenko, TBpeople Ukraine Board Chairman: “When we talk about a patient-centered treatment model and social support for people with tuberculosis, it is necessary to take into account the gender characteristics.

The functions of the OneImpact mobile application permits not only to create an evidence base of patients' needs at each stage of treatment, but also to analyze the characteristics of barriers among men, women, children and transgender people".
