# Improving the contribution of mathematical modelling evidence to guidelines and policy: Experiences from tuberculosis

## TL;DR

This paper discusses efforts to improve tuberculosis modeling to support better health policies.

## Contribution

It highlights collaborative efforts to enhance the quality and transparency of tuberculosis modeling.

## Key findings

- The Tuberculosis Modelling and Analysis Consortium is working with WHO to improve modeling quality.
- The goal is to support better decision-making through transparent and accurate models.

## Abstract

We read with great interest the recent paper by Lo et al., who argue that there is an urgent need to ensure the quality of modelling evidence used to support international and national guideline development. Here we outline efforts by the Tuberculosis Modelling and Analysis Consortium, together with the World Health Organization Global Task Force on Tuberculosis Impact Measurement, to develop material to improve the quality and transparency of country-level tuberculosis modelling to inform decision-making.
