A study finds cash handouts are a boon in fighting the deadliest infectious disease
Briefly

The study highlights the positive health outcomes that cash programs can produce, showing a significant reduction in tuberculosis cases among the poorest populations in Brazil.
Dr. Aaron Richterman states, 'There are very large benefits large and underappreciated of these [types of] programs,' emphasizing the potential of cash transfers to combat TB and improve health.
He further elaborates, 'If we think about what can take us to the next level, it's probably not the next drug... It may be something like this, which could help potentially end something like a TB epidemic.'
The research underscores a transformative approach to public health, indicating that economic support for impoverished populations can yield significant life-saving benefits, particularly against infectious diseases.
