TB Prevention, Control & Care

Community awareness and clinical support that contributes to prevention, early identification and linkage to treatment. Under the Stop TB Partnership's TB REACH Wave, Karucan strengthens private health-facility TB services, deploys satellite and mobile clinics to fishing communities, mines and prisons, and operates mobile-phone TB reporting tools for village health team referral and contact tracing. Integrated TB-HIV activities include isoniazid preventive therapy for PLHIV and HIV counselling and testing for TB patients.
