TB Platforms for Sustainable Detection, Care and Treatment Activity
The TB Platforms activity will focus on improving decentralized TB health systems by bolstering health program components at the regional, local government unit, provincial, city, municipal and community levels to increase TB and drug-resistant TB case detection and treatment success rates while also
decreasing default rates.
The TB Platforms activity is intended to bring civil society, non-governmental partners, private health care providers, and patient groups to support the Department of Health and local government units with case finding, case holding and outreach activities.
It is expected to develop, test, and apply innovative and sustainable financing mechanisms and principles to increase the capacity and sustain engagement of civil society and new partners to help reduce the TB epidemic and meet the targets set in the five year Philippine Strategic Tuberculosis Elimination Plan Phase 1 (PhilSTEP1).
It will closely coordinate its activities with the "TB Innovations and Health systems Strengthening" activity to ensure complementarity of activities, seamless transition from national to provincial levels and avoid duplication in technical assistance.
The TB Platforms will aim to achieve the following:
(1) families and communities adopt and improve health behaviors; (2) high-impact interventions are implemented at scale in the regions with the highest TB burden; and (3) key local health systems are bolstered to facilitate efficient and optimal delivery of quality TB services.
