Service Providers
Trainings for health providers have been developed under the project with the aim of increasing access for most-at-risk populations to health services. The 4-day training focuses on service providers who are included in the referral voucher network and provide services to the program’s target populations. Topics for the training include updated information on HIV and TB, stigma and discrimination reduction, communication skills for working with most-at-risk populations, counseling skills, working with program case managers, and understanding and participating in the program referral system.
The purpose of the training for multidisciplinary teams (MDT) is to train all parties of team on the UNISON model – a patient-centered, multidisciplinary approach used by the USAID Dialogue on HIV and TB Project to form adherence to treatment among people living with HIV. The training covers the technicalities of implementing the approach while emphasizing the importance of treatment adherence and multi-sector collaboration towards this end.
The goal of the training for pharmacists is to educate the pharmacists to recognize symptoms of TB in clients and then, instead of selling anti-tuberculosis medication without prescriptions, to refer clients to the relevant medical facilities for testing and treatment. The prevalence of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) is rising across the region and incorrect or incomplete treatment received through pharmacies is believed to be a contributing factor.
