South Sudan Health Situation
• Over 2 decade of civil war devastated health and TB services
• National TB Program (NTP) has staff at the national level and in each of the nation’s 10 states
• No NTP staff in the nation’s 79 counties

Ministry of Health (MOH)’s Health Facility Mapping, 2011
• 1,147 health facilities
• 75% of health facilities need renovation or construction
• 30% (345) of facilities are hospitals and primary health care centers (PHCCs)
• Only 22% (78) of hospitals and PHCC provide TB services
• Most facilities providing TB services are concentrated in urban areas

MOH Response to Expand TB Services and Increase Access • Added TB to the national Basic Package for
Health Services (BPHS) • Integrated TB services into primary health care
(PHC) • Assessed health facilities that meet minimum
criteria • Found that 46% of facilities met minimal criteria
to needed integrate TB services

Scale-up TB Services
• Health Sector Development Plan • National TB Strategic Plan • NTP and partners developed integration
framework Rapid assessment identified facilities
where TB could be integrated NTP and partners supported
renovation of the identified facilities

Post-renovation NTP Facility Interventions
• Trained and oriented staff on integration Suspect recognition Clinical diagnosis Treatment Provider-initiated testing and counseling Patient follow-up Sputum smear microscopy (lab staff) Recording and reporting (M&E staff)
• Provided supplies, commodities, and equipment • Monitored, supervised, and evaluated TB
implementation

Funding and Security Challenges
• Huge gap in funding (2012 – 2016) NTP strategic plan - $ 91,602,288 NTP available funding - $ 10,645,718
• Security challenges Poor road infrastructure Ethnic & border conflicts Internally displaced persons and returnees Inflations due to poor economy

Service Challenges
• TB is highly stigmatized, even among health care workers.
• Inadequate and poor quality of services • Access to health services
![Page 17: Saving Lives in Areas of Conflict or Disaster: Partnering ... · TB Facility Renovation Before After . 11 Post-renovation NTP Facility Interventions • Trained and oriented staff](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063010/5fc21ccede857c17b3443f39/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Access to Health Facilities

Lessons Learnt Lesson Follow-up action
Integration of TB services into PHC can rapidly expand services and improve access
Expansion of TB treatment services
TB not perceived as a public health problem in some communities
Community involvement
Number of health workers must increase Recruitment Health workers skills must improve Training TB/HIV stigma hinders delivery of services Education NGOs and stakeholders should be involved in TB service scale-up
Advocacy
NGO and stakeholders can help to promote TB management policies
Dissemination

Conclusion • NTP rapid assessment showed TB services
can be integrated into 94 health facilities. • MOH and donors can provide funds for
integration • NTP and partners can be involved in
refurbishment, provision of supplies, and training
• Community can be involved in TB control • Existing health workers for TB service
provision
