Planning the supervision visit
![Page 18: Using the Supervisory Checklist](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815c2c550346895dca06a0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Logistics
1. Make a list of all the facilities in your district
- Include the name and cell phone number of the Matron and TB Focal Person
2. Group them by location/region
Facilities in the District capital where you work and reside will be the busiest and the easiest to visit, so
3. Plan your visits to outlying areas first
4. Schedule local facility and lab visits next
![Page 19: Using the Supervisory Checklist](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815c2c550346895dca06a0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Scheduling supervisory visits
For example, split the district into sections and visit different regions on alternate weeks
Date District Region Clinics to be visited
1st Monday Chobe Northern Chobe Kasane PH, Kachikau Clinic,
Pandamatenga Clinic, etc
2nd Monday Southern Chobe Satau, Kazungula, Plateau, etc.
