It is important to note that we have implemented TB-HIV Co-infection sensitization project in our catchment areas. It involved screening and referral of cases to facility for further treatment services. We will collaborate with the National TB Program to fight TB in the very vulnerable communities of our nation Togo. We will do this through human capacity building, community referral systems strengthening and monitoring of cases on treatment especially among PLHIV.
