Chikmagalur Response to coordination among DAPCUs

0 comments
All the work can not be completed by any one, we need cooperation & coordination to give the compete services. Our SACS has supported in that by providing the CUG mobile sims to all the District AIDS Control Officers & the District ICTC Supervisors in the state. We are also communicating through the e-mails. 

Every district has the issues in receiving the clients from the neighboring districts for delivery, ART, etc. during those times we need some  basic information like testing details, blood report, family history, earlier treatment history,etc.,all those times we have good support & coordination form the other DAPCUs.

Example 1. From our districts some of the HIV+ve ANCs are going to Shimoga district for their parental home for delivery. Recently one HIV+ve ANC was referred to Shimoga District Hospital in the night with the complaint of IUD. She went there without any reports & they were very poor. In the night we have contacted the DAPCU & explained the situation. They immediately contacted the Medical Superintendent of the hospital & admitted, get done scan & the surgery in time.

Example 2. We regularly follow up our babies born to HIV+ve mothers for all the required services. In our EID program also many babies were tested at the age of 6 weeks in other districts with the coordination of DAPCUs. 

Example 3. We used to share the PLHA linelists with the concerned DAPCUs from where they actually belong to & those DAPCUs also given feedback after tracing the person & giving the service.

Example 4. During few months back we have excess stock of HIV test kits which are of near expiry, with the coordination of Mysore DAPCU team we make use of all those within the expiry date. Five months back we were facing shortage of HIV test kits in our district, during that time we have received test kits from Shimoga district which helped us continuing the services at our ICTCs.

Example 5. During the training programs were organised, concerned DAPCUs taken the lead & helped us in deputing our staffs, reaching the venue, arranging the accommodation etc.In the month of July SIMS refresher training was organised in Udupi district for our Counsellors. They have coordinated with us & the training as successfully completed.

There are many examples from which we have learnt from other DAPCUs & implemented in our districts. Some of the DAPCUs creatively made some formats/pppts/profiles in Understanding/reviewing the program which are helped us also. In public service profession coordination play a
important role. 

So Work With Coordination.

DAPCU Chikamagalur Response-role of DAPCU's to support TI

0 comments

In Chikmagalur District there are 3 TI-NGOs working with FSW & MSM. We have good relation with the TI-NGOs which are working, even though they are not of local NGOs of Chikmagalur District. Both NGOs started to work in the District after getting the program from SACS.


It is always challenging to work with the TIs. The number of HRG’s in the contract is around 2000 including FSW & MSM in the district. 

           

DAPCU always involves the TI-NGO in   the meetings (DAPCCC & DCC) which are held at district level & also DAPCU attends their meetings. The NGO co-ordinates with all the programmes held in the District from DAPCU, events like World AIDS Day, Folk campaign, etc.

 I would like share some challenges in working with the TI-NGOs of our district, new NGOs to our district, inexperienced Staffs, regular non community staffs turn over, most of the communities still unable to open up at-least with the ICTC cousnellors, poor attendees to ICTC, and good numbers for the clinic.

Anyhow all the DCs are reviewing the programme from the beginning in their respective districts/state, as per my understanding they need just some of the important issues as mentioned below through power point presentation. We can’t take much time & there should not be too much information.
  • Introduction of program Officers & staffs working exclusively in this program
  • Our district prevalence as per HSS
  • Available Counselling & Testing services in the district
  • Available ART & LAC services in the district
  • Available Blood Bank services  in the district
  • Available STD clinic & treatment services in the district
  • No. of HRGs & introduction of TI-NGOs working in the district
  • No. of Red Ribbon Clubs in the district
  • Major achievements made in the district during last DC’s period
  • Major issues where intervention needed & the responsible persons & departments
