| Organization Description: |
| We have a catchment area of more than 750,000 patient pool. TB is the 3rd highest infectious disease burden after, Malaria & HIV/AIDS. As government dependent, we plan to explore more areas of better logistics, care and new protocols on management. One of the evidence based issues noted is that the standard 6 month treatment is not very helpful for our HIV/AIDS patients. Also, Isonizid prophylaxis protocol can be modified for HIV/AIDS patients when you consider the effect of drug burden they encounter. |
