The TB/HIV Program in prisons has several stages. Its purpose is to reduce the burden of TB in Moldova by reducing TB incidence and mortality in prisons.
Completed Activities
- Early detection of tuberculosis among prisoners
- Infection control in the penitentiary system
- Adherence to TB treatment of TB patients
Obtained Results
The medical service was provided with the equipment and supplies necessary to treat tuberculosis. We also managed to achieve a 100% adherence to treatment of prisoners who have been diagnosed with TB. And last but not least, was developed an infection control plan in each prison and was implemented as well.
