Bhandara Response to coordination among DAPCUs

Issues on which DAPCUs support to each other;
1) Reallocation of consumable
2) EID follow up
3) Transferring out of Pre ART Patients
4) Tracking of LFU/MISS patients
5) Provision of training to Health staff

Whenever there is scarcity of any consumable at DAPCU level, the same is informed to MSACS .In return we receive the consumable stock position of other DAPCUs so that we can contact them and ensure transportation of that particular commodity to our DAPCU.   

In a few instances the positive delivery conducted at our hospital but as the particular woman originally resides at other district, the EID follow-up has to be done at that particular district. So this specific information is shared between two the DAPCU and the required follow up is done.

Suppose a positive patient gets Pre ART regd. At our ART centre but due to his willingness to continue the treatment at ART centre of other DAPCU, he is transferred out and the same thing is communicated to that DAPCU so that that Particular patient receives the treatment as per his willingness and convenience.

Similarly when an on ART patient comes under the category of LFU/Miss, the status of that patient is communicated to the DAPCU, to which he belongs, so that he can be tracked and brought back to on ART status.

On many occasion the HIV/STI training is arranged at some specific nodal centers, at that time the DAPCU which comes under that nodal center plays the role of coordinating centre with other DAPCUs so that their participation can be ensured.

Role of SACS in coordination
SACS play the vital role to continue this coordination among DAPCUS by issuing required instructions to all DAPCUs time to time.

Examples of support taken from other DAPCU and Result achieved by coordination
During last month we had shortage of vacuum tubes at our DAPCU .so we communicated the same to SACS, they have given us the status of excess vacuum tubes in DAPCU Pune . We communicated to Pune DPO and ensured and planed the transportation of the same, as a result of this we are likely to get it very shortly.

Similarly the ANM training was scheduled at Sewagram Wardha; the DPO has communicated the details of the training to all nearby DAPCUs so that we could send the ANM for training on time.
In this way the inter coordination among DAPCU is the BEDROCK of the program so far as the effective implementation of various program components are concerned.
