Ahmedabad Response to coordination among DAPCUs

Coordination among DAPCUs

Coordination is indispensable thing among DAPCUs and it goes on regular interval. Obviously coordination is needed to work together for the DAPCUs. We have 10 (ten) DAPCUs in the state, moreover we often coordinate on various matters regarding data sharing, presentation, maps, reporting, LFU etc.

The issues on which DAPCUs support each other 

• LFU/Mis
• EID
• Data sharing
• Mapping
• PLHA line listing

How is this coordination achieved?

• LFU/Mis- Through PLHIV the line listing we coordinate with others DAPCUs and thereafter respective DAPCU with the help of counselor take the home visit of LFU/MIS patients.
• EID- Through ANC the line listing we coordinate with others DAPCUs and thereafter respective DAPCU with the help of counselor and orw take the home visit of ANC patients and make sure that DBS testing will be done in nearest/selected EID center.
• Mapping-Periodically we update Spatial map with the coordination of other DAPCUs.

What role do the SACS play in enhancing this co-ordination?

• SACS should conduct training cum workshop for the coordination among DAPCUS on regular basis to ease the coordination.
• Should conduct meeting with government stakeholders so that more and more PLHA can avail social and government schemes.
