Long Delays and Missed Opportunities in Diagnosing Smear-Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Kampala, Uganda: A Cross-Sectional Study
Figure 2
Patients' trajectories through the health system.
Legend: The figure shows the health service delay of the patients from the last step of provider before the patient is finally diagnosed with TB. Length of the arrow is equivalent to the length of the delay drawn on scale. Other arrows are not drawn to scale. They just indicate the direction of patient's movement in search of the health care. The width of the arrow represents the number of patients who go from one point to the next. The number in the circles are the total number of patients that start from that point together with those that go through that care provider. In the hospital 2 patients did not experience health service delay. Nine patients did not experience health service delay at the KCC clinics. KCC = Kampala City Council.
