    Evaluation of the effectiveness of the National DOTS Programme and to develop alternate models to improve provision of DOTS treatments in various settings

     
    Project ID: SV-006 Status: Completed

    Effective TB control depends on the rapid and accurate identification of infectious TB cases (sputum smear positive patients) and cure of the infectious cases which is currently carried out under DOTS. NPTCCD has identified a number of DOT providing centres in each district in Sri Lanka based on the resources available to the programme. But due to certain resource constraints mainly human resources, there are challenges to deliver high quality DOTS services in some districts. It is considered important to assess treatment outcome at various centres (especially where routine data indicates low service coverage and outcomes) to identify treatment failures and the reasons for those failures. In this study it is planned to identify treatment failures at various settings in each province taking a selected district from each, based on available data and to address them accordingly. It is envisaged that the results of this study will help to improve the effectiveness of the National DOTS Programme in Sri Lanka.
