TB Contact Tracing for Public Health Facilities
An activity under the CSS project conducted by TB Voice Network and International Health Care Center
Introduction
West Africa AIDS Foundation is currently undertaking TB contact tracing as part of activities under the Community Systems Strengthening Project (CSS). The activity is initiated to provide support to public health facilities in conducting contact tracing of TB index cases at these selected facilities.
Contact tracing of a TB client is according to national guidelines an activity that needs to be done for each positive TB client. However, many a time, due to lack of the requisite resources including recent cuts in TB funding, most health facilities are not able to do this. click here to download full document.
