This post was in response to the February
2012 theme
Dahod
is a tribal district of Gujarat. Migration is one of the major problems to
provide continuous health services to people in the district. It was difficult
to reach ARTC for PLWHA after diagnosed being tested positive. In the year
2010-11, Pre ART registration was very low (64%). DAPCU has tried to strengthen
linkages between ICTC and ARTC for Pre ART registration of individuals
diagnosed as HIV positive. DAPCU adopted some strategies for ICTCs to fill the
gap of Pre ART registration.
- Proper referral mechanism.
- Co-ordination with ARTC Baroda and Godhara.
- Provision of transportation to reach ARTC. (Use vehicle of hospital under RKS-Rogi kalian Samiti)
- PLHA follow up for pre ART registration.
- Gradually started LAC and ARTC. (Now CD4 testing facility available in district.)
- Monthly review for ICTC- ARTC coordination.
