Current status of integrated community based TB service delivery and the Global Fund work plan to find missing TB cases
Tanzania
Dr Peter Asilia – AMREF
Background • Tanzania is one of 30 highest Tuberculosis burden countries in
the world.
• In 2016:
– 65,908 (40%) TB cases were notified (out of the estimated annual incidence of 160,000 cases) and initiated Anti-TB; this implies 90,000 TB cases missed.
– 158 MDR TB cases were initiated treatment out of 196 detected cases (estimated annual case incidence 830 MDR TB). 672 MDR TB cases missed
• Community based TB activities are designed to sensitize/mobilize for community engagement in identifying TB cases; TB diagnosis using Lay counselors and sputum fixers; and early referral to HFs for TB treatment and support
• National coverage of community based TB activities is 100% (185 Councils).
– Activity varies base on the type of available support.
• National coverage of recording and reporting of community based TB activities is 100% (all 208 BMUs). Through electronic system.

M&E ............. • Data systems (status of DHIS2 adoption)
– Well functioning countrywide
– Reentry modified to case based system
• Data elements collected
– Notification by type of a patient, by sex, by age
– TB/HV data
– Referral status (from community/ self)
– Patients transfer
– Treatment outcome
M&E........... • Community TB indicators in DHIS2:
– Number of referred Presumptive TB cases from community
– Number of TB cases notified from community referrals (all forms)
– Number of bacteriological confirmed TB case notified from community referrals
– Number of TB patients under Home Based DOT
– Number of TB patients under HBDOT successfully treated
• Geographic coverage of monitoring and evaluation and related tools is uniform countrywide
• Services linked to other sectors in the community; linked to other health plans and interventions such as Chronic Lung diseases (NHL)
• Comprehensive monitoring and supervision visits have proven to be efficient
• However, there is a need to strengthen coordination of stakeholders engaged in the community

Mechanisms for coordination of community based TB activities
• Availability of Formal coordination mechanism e.g. NTP-NGO coordination body o Established recently through EANNASO under Stop TB
partnership support “Tanzania community TB Forum”
• Key functions of the forum
o Oversee implementation of Community TB care intervention and advocate to for improvement
o TB Community voice
• How frequent are their meetings
o Annually (last meeting – 2017 for establishment) supported by EANNASO under stop TB partnerships ,
• Any funding support? o Global Fund

Success story: model for community based TB activities suitable for nationwide scale-up
Sputum fixers in Kondoa District (Rashid Gora) • This is a Community person trained in 2016 as a sputum
fixers under GF support.
• He is working with almost five dispensaries and their catchment area for sputum collection, smear, fixing and transport the slides to Kondoa district hospital for TB diagnosis
• In 2017, Gora ( just one sputum fixers) had contributed 59 TB case in the country equivalent to 0.09% and 12% in Kondoa district.
• Lesson leant: Investment in Sputum fixers can increase much in TB case detection rate in countries.

Country specific opportunities
• Opportunities to increase community engagement to achieve targets listed on previous slide • Formalization of Community Health Worker cadre
• The country Plan is to have 2 CHWs per village (20,000 villages countrywide)
• Presence of willing CSOs to engage TB control activities in the country
• Recent modification of Electronic TB and Leprosy system to
be case based. – This will increase data verification concerning community referrals
