| CEPIN is a national NGO which promotes on a sustainable basis and with collaboration with partners, the empowerment of youths, women/children and community through advocacy on health programmes, research, training and micro finance schemes using up to date technology and global best practises. Tuberculosis is a major cause of ill health and death in Africa where factors like poverty, malnutrition, overcrowding, HIV/AIDS infections, poor environmenttal living conditions and of recent, development of resistant organisms are contributing to TB epidermics. Cross River State of Nigeria has a very high rate of Tubercuolisis as a co-infection of HIV/AIDS in the country according to USAID and FHI in 2008. DOTS strategy has been placed in Cross River State especially in the Federal Health Centres or Hospitals but has not reached a considerable population especially in the rural communities. CEPIN intends to focus on establishment of a cost-effective and well monitored framework for sentizing community for test, treatment and care and engagement of community based organisations for addressing stigma at client, community and health services levels and also facilitate social mobilation to encourage symtomatic people to test for TB prevention within a limited time-frame. |
