Rajkot DAPCU – Response to Question of the Month February 2012 - Facilitating Pre ART Registration

This post was in response to the February 2012 theme

In January 2012, 70 people were tested positive and 59 Pre-ART registrations took place. The following practices are in place in Rajkot to ensure Pre-ART registration

• ICTC-ART CO-ORD sheet is used at ICTC & ART level
• Discuss the number found positive and number of Pre ART registration in the DAPCU Monthly Review Meeting . The discussion also focuses on why clients fail to reach ART Center and we try our best to ensure that all HIV positive reach to ARTc.
• The quarterly meetings by ART center to discuss LFU, MIS & and planning for those found positive but not reaching the ART centre.
• After phone calls to LFUs  the list of LFU patients who have not return back to ART center, is sorted out  by ART center in three categories and followed up.

             * List of LFU of Rajkot City (local) (CCC & RDNP)

             * List of LFU of Rajkot Mandal (tehsil) (DAPCU)

             * List of LFU patients out of rajkot district (GSACS)
