Locating a suitable health facility to establish F-ICTCs
DAPCUs prepare and update the Spatial Maps of the District in which they show a map which highlight the areas where there is no ICTC is established but there are DGDs, M&CW centers, Maternity Homes etc. which are monitored by Integrated District Health Society.
DAPCU can identify the areas where the client load is high but there is no ICTC Centers with the help of Spatial Mappings of the district. The DAPCUs can also identify the areas by reviewing the Line list/Data provided by various HIV/AIDS facilities in the District. Then by coordinating with SACS, Chief District Medical Officer (CDMO) and Nodal Officer NRHM of the District we can identify the locations of suitable health facility where there is no ICTC setup but the DGDs, M&CW centers, Maternity Homes etc are established which are monitored by NRHM to establish F-ICTC center.
Capacity building of the F-ICTC (i. e. training of staff, providing registers/ formats, providing guidance, supervision etc.)
For supervision of F-ICTC, the DAPCUs can make supportive supervisory visit plan of F-ICTCs along with the other HIV/AIDS facilities on monthly basis.
During Supportive Supervisory visit at F-ICTC, DAPCU can ensure the availability of consumables and non-consumable and training requirement of staff. If there is any requirement of consumables and non-consumable or training at F-ICTC, DAPCU can coordinate with DSACS to fulfill the requirement for smooth functioning of F-ICTC.
Strengthening of linkages between F-ICTC and Designated ICTCs.
