Abstract
Champions are recognised as important to driving
organisational change in healthcare quality improvement
initiatives in high-income settings. In low-income and
middle-income countries with a high disease burden
and constrained human resources, their role is highly
relevant yet understudied. Within a broader study on policy
implementation for decentralised drug-resistant tuberculosis
care in South Africa, we characterised the role, strategies and
organisational context of emergent policy champions.
