THE NATIONAL FORUM OF PLHA NETWORKS IN UGANDA (NAFO PHANU)TB/HIV WORKSHOP REPORT
17TH DECEMBER 2004 AT TAL COTTAGES – KAMPALA
“I was admitted in a hospital for HIV and TB but
because the two departments are distant, I
couldn’t continue going to the TB ward for my TB
treatment”.

What has been said in the past?
“If a virus and a
bacteria can work
together, why
don’t we”

Framework of joint TB and HIV programming

TB/HIV
activities
Objectives of Joint TB and HIV programming
• Synergised programme management and efforts
• Intense collaboration, coordination and
communication
• Better targeting of resources through synergies and
efficiencies gained
• Integrated TB, HIV and other services
• Better TB and HIV health outcomes
It is not overloading programmes
Nor a big fish swallowing a small fish
Principles
• Decision of scope based on country context– Epidemiology of TB and HIV
– Maturity and capacity of programmes
– Health infrastructure organisation
• Country-led dialogue in decision making– Involvement of all TB and HIV stakeholders including CS
• Phased approach in implementation
• Flexibility for TB and/or HIV specific areas– Disease epidemiology
– National priorities and importance
Critical areas for joint TB and HIV programming
Effective program management
• Mechanisms established
– Aligned to national context
– May include structural changes
– Applicable at all levels (e.g. joint supervision)
• Adequate technical capacity
• No disruption of programs
• Phased approach

Health information system
• Standardised indicators
• Harmonisation with HMIS
• Computerization needs
• Boost/improve existing tools
Worn out ART register
M and E in a peripheral clinic
Overcrowding with paper based M and E
Procurement and supply chain management
• Integrated system
• Purchase, storage and distribution of supply
– Uninterrupted
– Efficient
– Transparent
• Integrated laboratory plan development
• Common platform opportunities (e.g. Xpert)
Laboratory services and supply
Health workforce
• Objective: skilled and
competent health
workers for integrated
services
• Joint training and
retaining activities
• Task shifting for critical
services
• Systematic involvement
of private for profit
sector
Financing
• Adequate and equitable availability of
financial resources
• Effective dialogue is essential
• Allocation flexibility to address priority and
specific areas is important
Integrated service delivery
• Minimum requirement for joint programming
• TB and HIV prevention, diagnosis and care at same place and time
• MNCH services are important
• Use decentralised services
• Integrated community based activities are essential

Implementation

• CCM can continue to choose the implementers that
are most appropriate given the country context
Single HIV and TB
Concept Note
• Important for program response; requires prior
consensus through country dialogue
• Scope, objectives and priority areas should be clearly
defined
• Need to work in parallel streams
• Simple and clear instructions should be developed
• Effective coordination and management essential
Lessons from the Joint HIV, TB and PMTCT Review
2013, South Africa
Technical implication of single concept note
for national programmes and partners
• Harmonisation of TA in the context of joint
programming
– Team approach (e.g. TB and HIV consultants )
– Multitasking (e.g. one consultant with multiple task)
• Scaling up of integrated TB and HIV services with
harmonised approach including planning and
target setting
It is not wishful. It is possible!
Conclusion
Paradigm shift in TB/HIV response
