Compartmental simulation: Transition diagram with care continuum and disease stages. δd: diagnostic rate in disease stage d, l: proportion linked to care within three months of diagnosis, ρ: care drop-out rate, and γ: rate of re-entry to care. Diagnostic rates for people linked to care at diagnosis (lδd) (rates on ; dashed arrow), diagnostic rates for people linked to care greater than 3 months after diagnosis ((1 − l)δd) (rates on ; dotted arrow), and care-drop-out rates (ρd)(rates on ; thick arrow) are estimated in the model specific to the scenario simulated. Rates corresponding to all other arrows are taken from data in literature and are presented in Table S2 of Appendix. (#): numbers in each compartment are used for referencing state transitions in Table S2
