Where possible, we aim to treat TB patients at home, and demonstrate that the comprehensive TB care model is feasible. This includes patient follow-up, active testing for new patients, laboratory diagnosis, individualised treatment and psychosocial support (including play therapy).
In the south of the country, we run the Zero TB project in Kulob, aiming for TB elimination. This project focuses on TB prevention and care in households, places where people seek care and where they work.
We have also started working in the penitentiary system with the aim of improving the quality of TB care and other comorbidities in the central prison hospital and strengthening TB screening in prisons and pre-trial detention facilities.
