Obtained Results

We managed to create 25 community support groups for TB patients at the level of every town-hall of the district. These groups have conducted 89 sessions and 4 workshops during which they developed and implemented mechanisms for control and prevention of TB in the community. Also, during 2012 more than 190 community workers have conducted field visits.

This project was realized thanks to the financial support from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
