The following strategies have been executed by DAPCU Imphal East in reducing LFU:-

1. Monthly review meetings are conducted with NACP facilities with a special agenda to discuss and resolve the issue of LFU.
2. Two staff from CSC have been deployed to ICTC, JNMS (main ICTC where a number of HIV positive cases have been detected) to link clients with the ART Centre.
3. DAPCU maintains the report of LFU cases in coordination with ART centre, CSC and DLN. Coordinated efforts are being made to track all lost clients.
4. Service providers are advised to counsel care givers to ensure adherence to treatment by the clients on ART.
