| Organization Description: | |
| The Mission is to Integrate development through community initiatives. Struggle Against Poverty is interested in TB Campaigns because Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in Uganda with an annual incidence of 330 cases of all forms and 136 new smear positive cases per 100,000 people per year. Furthermore TB stands as the number one killer of HIV/AIDS patients in Uganda. Struggle Against Poverty is sensitizing communities on the dangers of TB and the need to test for TB in order to reduce associated deaths. We also plan to develop interventions that can lead to diagnosis of positive TB Cases as well as referring positive cases to private clinics and government referral hospital to access drugs and other further management |

Contribution | |
| Please tell us how your organization will contribute to the Global Plan to Stop TB by briefly describing its involvement in any of the areas of work listed below: | |
|
TB Care Delivery: Selected community members are mobilized through the health camps and it is during the health camps that the community was sensitized about the dangers of TB and the need to undergo TB testing at any government health facilities where there was a TB Sign post for further management. This happened between 2012 and 2013 respectively. Drug-Resistant TB: We also informed adult girls and young women - AGYWs who were HIV positive that they stood a chance of having TB and also a possibility of being resistant to TB Drugs which was and still a common scenario in Uganda TB-HIV: We just have a plan of incorporating HIV and AIDS with TB programing as opposed to separate projects or programs Laboratory Strengthening: We just have a plan of partnering with the Laboratory department under ministry of Internal Affairs in Kampala in order to improve in this area |
