Integrated Tuberculosis Care and Prevention, for Enhancing Case Finding, Health System Strengthening and Sustainability Project

RDRS Bangladesh, in collaboration with the National Tuberculosis Control Program (NTP), GFATM, and BRAC, is spearheading the "Integrated Tuberculosis Care and Prevention" project in Lalmonirhat and Kurigram districts.

This initiative aims to enhance TB case findings, strengthen the health system, and ensure sustainability in combating tuberculosis. With an extensive reach, the project targets over 3.8 million participants, providing comprehensive TB diagnosis, treatment, and care through an established network of DOT centers, microscopy centers, and Gene X-pert centers. The project's significant impact is evident in the increased community awareness and higher detection rates of TB cases, contributing to a 95% treatment success rate in the supported areas.

By addressing TB, this project directly contributes to SDG-3, which focuses on ending the epidemics of AIDS, TB, malaria, and other communicable diseases, ensuring good health and well-being for all.
