TB Care Delivery: PASADA is implementing a project which integrates TB with diabetes, Covid – 19, malnutrition and leprosy. Integration of these conditions with TB improves the prognosis of TB disease and vice versal. For example, integrating TB and diabetes, if these two conditions will be identified together and finally managed together, a person will be likely to end up with good prognosis. TB disease is likely to manifest when a person has lowered body immunity. Thus, integrating these two conditions will provide the room for a particular person to be offered TB services and at the same time diabetic services to ensure good prognosis. Activities that have been handled include: · Community sensitization on accessing TB services and sputum sample collection, corona testing, malnutrition, diabetes and leprosy self-assessment. · Strengthening of Tuberculosis Rapid Assessment Posts (TRAPs) using 50 community volunteers and integration of Diabetes, Corona, malnutrition and Leprosy screening. · Sputum sample collection by traditional healer · Training for HCW and Volunteers on TB refresher, and Corona · Training for HCW and volunteers on Diabetes and Malnutrition · Training for HCW and volunteers on Leprosy self-assessment · Development of electronical data collection tool · Training of volunteers on electronical data collection · Strengthening diagnostic centres to be able to diagnose TB, HIV and diabetes. · Provision of therapeutic/ supplementary food to people with TB who have malnutrition. This project is implemented in Tanzania from 01/04/2023 to 31/03/2024 |
