  • Disponibilité The new QuanTB 3.0 tool and user’s guide can be accessed at the QuanTB website, http://siapsprogram.org/quantb/
  • Remarques The new version contains enhancements based on valuable user feedback, including the ability to merge forecasting files, which allows users to consolidate data from subnational level or other settings and reduce time spent entering data by hand. New features also include the ability to divide multiyear forecasting for supply planning purposes. This version allows importing and exporting data on medicines stocks, cases on treatment, and expected cases from other software, such as excel, for interoperability. The user’s guide is now built in the software and can be accessed anytime while using the tool. This version also allows extracting the list of medicines and regimens (called “dictionary file”) directly from the forecasting files created by other users in different settings and countries. Additionally, the dashboard has been enhanced to display more information making it easy for TB programs and health workers to understand the drug stock situation quickly.
