We are launching an outreach workshop program to engage with the commuter and club owners of beer halls. our intention is to make sure they are educated on how they can be of great influence in promoting health standards that reduce TB infections within their working areas Drug-Resistant TB: Our Plan we are holding TB Education workshops in communities and schools educating transport Operators and giving pass along cards. we are also in promotion of healthy eating. TB-HIV: we are including TB screening, diagnosis and treatment; intensified TB case finding for patients in HIV care or on ART; provider-initiated testing and counselling (PITC) for HIV for family members; cotrimoxazole preventive treatment (CPT) and ART to all HIV-positive patients who are eligible. Special services and resources Sputum exam turnaround time is less than 24 hours: Prompt TB diagnosis is aided by the use of a motorcycle courier, funded by TB CARE, to transport sputum to the laboratory at the general hospital for smear microscopy or XpertMTB/RIF examination. A microscopy laboratory is also being established onsite at the clinic. Cellular phone prompts: The clinic staff is provided with cellular phones to contact patients who need to start TB treatment and also to follow up with those who miss scheduled appointments. This has helped to prevent patients from defaulting on their treatment. Solar power back-up: A solar-powered back-up power system, installed with support from The Union, helps to ensure that the clinic has an uninterrupted power supply for both patient care needs and communication. Patient education resources: Patient education is essential to TB-HIV care, and the clinic has audio-visual equipment for this purposes, as well as printed materials. Internet connectivity: A computer connected to the Internet expedites communication. |
