This abstract is about my MSc dissertation; Determining the adequacy of mathematical/ epidemiological models used for assessing the impact of COVID19 on tuberculosis burden in India

By undertaking this research I aim to understand if the predictive modelling methods used in assessing the impact of COVID19 on tuberculosis burden in India were developed using best modelling practices and to assess if these models will be ideal for government decision making process aimed at achieving sustainable development goals (SGDs) for Tb?
