barriers to treatment. Using an insurance-based approach, the China-Gates TB program Phase II was implemented
between 2012 and 2014 in three cities in China to improve access to TB care and reduce the financial burden on
patients, particularly among the poor. This study aims to assess the program effects on service use, and its equity
impact across different income groups.
