DAPCU Mysore Response to Role of DAPCU's & F-ICTC

Role of DAPCU in  Locating a suitable health facility to establish  F-ICTCs
o       DAPCU play an important role in establishing F-ICTC in a District. DAPCU   has to find out the nursing home/hospital, who have more than  50  deliveries and  50 HIV tests.


Capacity building of the F-ICTC (i. e. training of staff, providing registers/ formats, providing guidance, supervision etc.)
o       We give F-ICTC details to SACS,they  will arrange training facility to F-ICTC. Then in District level, DAPCU will intimate all F-ICTC and arrange training to staff nurses and LTs. In training we provide register and report format to the F-ICTC.


Strengthening of linkages between F-ICTC and Designated ICTCs

We link all F-ICTCs to stand alone ICTC  and  given the responsibity to collect reports and  to follow up of positive case.In F-ICTC they do 1st test and for  2nd and 3rd test, they refer the client  to stand alone ICTC.When the case linked to ICTC,the whole responsibily is lies with ICTC.DAPCU can review the case with ICTC.                                                                                                       

Monitoring and evaluation of F-ICTCs
Stand alone ICTC will monitor F-ICTC programme at their end and enter SIMs                           report also.In District level we review LTs of  F-ICTCs  in LTs monthly meeting.DAPCU  will monitor the programme when visit the centre.And  review the programme with MO,Counsellor and LTs

Share a few achievements from your districts in this regard
It will be easy to cover  ANCs and more TB patients through F-ICTCs.We have achived 100% ANC coverage as per NRHM data.And few PHCs  are linked to F-ICTC and  do counseling and testing   at PHC  and give report to F-ICTCs.
