The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of mobile health (mHealth) technologies as emerging opportunities to closing the gaps in Tuberculosis (TB) care through enhancing Public Private Mix (PPM). However, little is known about mHealth interventions that have been used for enhancing PPM in TB care, those that worked and those that did not. This review summarizes the published evidence on the utilization and effectiveness of mHealth interventions for public private mix in TB care from literature. Google scholar, PUBMED, IEEE Xplore and ScienceDirect databases were searched for peer reviewed literature from 1st January 2003 to 31st December 2020 for studies about the mHealth interventions for public private mix in TB care. This was guided by the scoping review methodology proposed by Arksey and O′ Malley. In order to assess the quality of the selected studies, mHealth evidence reporting and assessment (mERA) checklist was utilized. Studies that discussed the utilization of mHealth interventions for implementing PPM in TB care were included. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed for review. The review found out the application of mHealth in Public Private Mix in TB care through the following ways; 1) TB screening, 2) TB case notification 3) TB treatment adherence 4) data collection and management 5) patient referral and follow up, and 6) education. This resulted into high user experience, significant time reduction in data aggregation, increased case notification and referrals and proactive tracking and provision of follow up care hence reduced treatment and completion gaps. One study yielded suboptimal utilization due to the technical and operational challenges encountered by the healthcare workers. Although this scoping review highlights the role of mHealth technologies in enhancing PPM in TB care, its utilization is still limited in African settings. No Africa-based study was identified by this review. Future studies should focus on assessing the utilization of mHealth for PPM in Africa. Mobile apps are the commonly used mHealth interventions for enhancing PPM. mHealth utilization in implementing PPM for TB care is still limited in Africa. mHealth interventions should be simpler, faster and easy to use. Developers should define the parameters used to design the mHealth application. mHealth interventions should be based on theoretical evidence to allow replication.
