Training course on improving the quality of drug-resistant tuberculosis

July 15, 2021 at 11:05 am, No comments
From 6 to 9 of July, Latvian WHO CC in collaboration with USAID ETICA (Eliminating Tuberculosis in Central Asia) project hosted an online course on improving the quality of drug-resistant tuberculosis case management for participants from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.  The goal of this course was to strengthen the capacity of members of the central drug-resistant TB Consilium and coordinators at all levels of TB services to introduce the clinical audit for TB care within programmatic conditions for assuring and strengthening quality across the cascade of care, with particular emphasis on the clinical management of TB.

The online course was practice-oriented and conducted through a series of lectures and clinical case discussions prepared by participants to assess the quality of TB case management. In addition, the course included daily group work sessions and participants presentations to discuss the limitations and strengths of National TB programs, the role of national TB Concilium, as well as the requirements for physicians for presenting a patient to TB Consilium. At the end of the course, each country elaborated a National document on criteria for the provision of the clinical audit (quality assessment). 

During the course a virtual site visit to different TB facilities of TB and Lung Diseases center was organized -  the National TB Reference Laboratory, TB outpatient department (including demonstration of directly observed and video observed TB treatment), and drug-resistant TB clinical Concilium. 

The United States Agency for International Development Eliminating Tuberculosis in Central Asia (USAID ETICA) Project is the five-year program being implemented in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The purpose of the USAID ETICA project is to ensure more effective and more accessible tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and treatment for all, including the vulnerable population
