USAID Enhances Local Capacity to Provide Tuberculosis (TB) Services for People Living with HIV (PLHIV)
TB remains one of the leading causes of death among PLHIV, making HIV/TB service integration crucial for improving health outcomes and reducing mortality rates. On July 9, USAID organized an online training session for 70 providers from clinics and program managers from the Center for Disease Control in five provinces (An Giang, Dong Nai, Dong Thap, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City). The session focused on integrating TB services into HIV prevention and treatment services and improving infection prevention and control at HIV clinics based on the latest guidance from the Ministry of Health.
These efforts ensure a comprehensive care approach in providing HIV and TB care services at clinics, leading to improved patient outcomes through early detection, treatment, and infection prevention. [Support for Technical Excellence and Private Sector Sustainability in Vietnam project]
