TB GC7 Project: Finding the TB missing cases

Following the successful launch of the TB GC7 project, our next step is to conduct community outreach and screening activities in the Adansi South district.

Objectives:

1. Conduct TB screenings for at least 1,000 individuals in the community

2. Identify and refer suspected TB cases for further diagnosis and treatment

3. Provide health education and awareness sessions to community members

4. Engage with community leaders and stakeholders to ensure project sustainability

Activities:

1. Community mobilization and sensitization

2. TB screening and testing

3. Health education and awareness sessions

4. Data collection and analysis

5. Referral of suspected TB cases for further diagnosis and treatment

Target Groups:

1. High-risk populations (e.g., miners, prisoners, healthcare workers)

2. Community members with symptoms suggestive of TB

3. Contacts of confirmed TB cases

Partners:

1. Patients Friend Foundation

2. STOP TB PARTNERSHIP GHANA

3. Ghana Health Service

4. Community leaders and stakeholders

Resources Needed:

1. TB enabler packages for patients (nutritious food packages to support recovery)

2. Health education materials

3. Personnel (health workers, community volunteers)

4. Transportation and logistics support

By taking this next step, the PFF aims to make progress towards its goal of detecting and treating TB cases in the Adansi South district, ultimately contributing to the global effort to end TB.
