Bijapur Response to coordination among DAPCUs

Yes, there is a need for DAPCUs to work in Co-Ordination with each other especially in these areas


  • Follow – up of the ART Clients (FLU / MIS Cases) 
  • HIV / STD / ART CD4 Testing Kits Requirement. 
  • Data sharing.(LFU/MIS, Transfer out, Social Benefit scheme  etc.) 
  • When one patient from some other district is identified in our district we usually contact the concerned DAPCU and share the address of  the patient with them if the patient is not registered in our ART Centre or not coming for regular follow up.Thus we are able to update the details of the patient .
  • Implementation of the new PPTCT Regimen Guidelines (ARV/ART, ANC data sharing for the migrant clients and their deliveries and follow-up of the babies up to 18 months and tailing)
  • HIV testing Kits given to Bagalkot District. Only One Warehouse in Bijapur District.
  • ART Centre, Bijapur CD4 kits are taken to Gulbarga, Chikkodi and Bangalore Districts.  
  • ANC positive client 6 months baby follow-up in Karawar. 18 months follow-up in Bijapur District. As clients move between districts such coordination is very important
  • Follow-up of the ANC Cases (Migrant) for the ARV Prophylaxis and Delivery in the other districts.
  • Follow-up of the Co-infected clients in the Other Districts.


Co-ordination between DAPCUs not only with in the state but with all DAPCUs in the country is very essential for following up the patient.
