Implementing an TB/HIV Active Surveillance System in Swaziland
Implementing an TB/HIV Active Surveillance System in Swaziland
The USAID Systems for Improved Access to Pharmaceuticals and Services (SIAPS) Program, implemented by MSH, supported the Swaziland Ministry of Health (MoH) in mobilizing key stakeholders from the Swaziland National AIDS Program and the National Tuberculosis Control Program to introduce and implement an active surveillance system for patients on ARVs and anti-TB treatment. SIAPS provided technical assistance to the MoH National Pharmacovigilance Unit to develop the protocol and tools to implement the system, as well as to develop a system for recruiting patients at the HIV and TB sites.
