Dear Anders and colleagues,
Operation ASHA has developed a new paradigm that has led to excellent results: default rate around 2% and upto 100% increase in detection rate.
Please go to www.opasha.org for details.
Please feel free to get back to me if you have any other questions.

Thank you both for your replies.

Dr. Jerry Friedland also gave a talk at the IUATLD conference last week
about successfully implementing infection control in rural South Africa
that you may find useful.
