New Diagnostics: Sano Paila, in partnership, with The Britan Nepal Medical Trust and Stop TB Partnership is facilitating successful implementation of TB Reach activities-“intensified case finding through contact tracing and initial default tracing” in the community level in order to reduce the morbidity of TB and its further spread among their peers, spouse, family members and community people in Bara and Parsa Districts. The primary objective of the project is to increase new smear positive TB cases in low case finding districts and vulnerable/populations at risk through systematically involving the community and health workers in detection of additional TB cases and detecting primary defaulters to increase the treatment success rate. Female Community health Volunteers (FCHVs) and other health care providers have been mobilized to trace the contacts of the index cases and primary defaulters. |
