TB-HIV: STEPS has trained community health care workers from TB affected communities to find missing people with TB, supporting TB patients organization to report service delivery gaps for TB such as drug stock out, nutrition challenges and stigma facing TB patients. In addition, 150 community and religious leaders, influential people and traditional healers have been oriented to include TB in their work.
