Challenges 1.Delay in receiving NSA Phase-2 Year-1 activities 2.Inadequate activities as compared to total assigned districts. 3.Printing process of guidelines is lengthy as well as soft copies are not in place. 4.Delay in PAL logistic supply for implementation 5.Lacking supply of forms and formats to the concerned DOTS and VCT centres to run TB HIV collaborative programme (e.g. cross referral form, Register etc.) 6.Inadequate monitoring and follow up programme especially in newly initiated district. 7.Measuring PPM contribution in TB control in absence of routine recording and reporting
Success Story The collaboration with VCT centre of GENETUP ; to carry out intensified HIV case finding amongst TB patients. As a result of this activity, 10 (7 Male 3 Female,1.1%)) TB patients out of 883 were HIV screening positive. This result shows that there are presence of TB HIV co infection; the patients those who are under DOTS. The free screening saved TB patients time, money as well as they have been aware on their disease status.
