| God’s Children Ministries priority is to help “the poorest of the poor.” Projects include relief for earthquake, flood and hurricanes victims, care and education and sponsorship programs for orphans and other vulnerable children, housing for the homeless, medicines and health care for the indigent, food for families suffering extreme malnutrition, seeds and training to the farmers and clean water for communities that have none, as well as micro-enterprise programs and other long-term development efforts to break the cycle of poverty. We recognize individual dignity and worth and respect the rights of all people. We are committed to continuous improvement in patient care and responsive to our community needs. Our patients are the center of our attention. We are always seeking ways to improve our services and the value we bring to our community and county. The mission of our clinics is to prevent, control, and eliminate the spread of TB in Collin County. We plan to accomplish this mission by developing effective communication with providers and the public, providing quality diagnostic and treatment services, strengthening our surveillance and epidemiologic investigations, and improving the public's knowledge about the disease. The WHO-recommended Directly Observed Treatment, Short Course (DOTS) strategy was launched formally as Revised National TB Control programme in Haiti in 2000 after pilot testing from 1997-1999. Since then DOTS has been widely advocated and successfully applied. DOTS is the most effective strategy available for controlling TB. The five key components of DOTS are 1. Political commitment to control TB; 2. Case detection by sputum smear microscopy examination among symptomatic patients; 3. Patients are given anti- TB drugs under the direct observation of the health care provider/community DOT provider; 4. Regular, uninterrupted supply of anti-TB drugs; and 5. Systematic recording and reporting system that allows assessment of treatment results of eac |
