Inspirational post from DAPCU, Mehsana, Gujarat

An Experience DIS DAPCU, Mehsana in Consultation Workshop on finalizing Social Protection Guidelines at Jaipur on 5th February-2014

           On behalf of DAPCU Mehsana I had attended the Consultation Workshop on Social Protection Guideline at Lebua Resort, Jaipur on  5th February-2014. It was an honour to be a part of the team witnessing the first ever national meet. Experience in the Workshop added lots of values and boosted my enthusiasm and courage to work closely for the cause. Lot of things I came to know from the events where I had participated and shared. This will be reflected in the steps taken ahead for my district. Followings are some of my experiences and learning from the Workshop.

               The requirement of National AIDS Control Programme is not confined to care support and treatment but has extended to linkages of the PLHA for social protection scheme. Now the time has came to advocate for various schemes to give humanitarian touch for the people living with HIV AIDS. 

               Although DAPCU in Mehsana have already been involved in facilitating PLHA and HRG to avail schemes still there is long way forward. I came to know about the thematic components, efforts in policy and strategies adopted by different states and nations as well for linkages of PLHA to social protection schemes. 

                This is my first ever participation and exposure in National level Consultation Workshop on Social Protection Guideline which helped me to understand various schemes, policies and strategies to link PLHA in to social protection schemes. It also enriched my knowledge and boosted my confidence to work for the PLHA in my district.I had shared my views and challenges faced in my District during group discussions held during the Workshop for Prepare SP Guideline.During the one days of the Workshop, I met Cosultant Mainstreaming, DACO & DPM  of  Verious  State &  District  and  we discussed about  How to Provide  Benefit  of  social protections schemes to PLHAs and HRGs.I came to know about the  importance given to linkages of  PLHA in to social protection schemes in NACP phase-IV and that all  DAPCUs need to play a pivotal role i,e facilitator for linkages to the schemes.I realized that  DAPCU need to ensure effective mechanism for delivery of social protection schemes.

             

                    My utmost gratitude to Elizabeth Michael,Team Leader, Mainstreaming & Partnerships Dept. of AIDS Control, Delhi for giving me chance to attend the Workshop on Social Protection Guideline and sincere gratefulness to Dr.Govind Bansal DAPCU Coordinator, National Resource Team(DNRT) for  support and confidence imposed on me and nominating my candidature.I must be thankful to our Additional Project Director, GSACS for his Approval to me for Attend the Workshop.

                  The efforts of UNDP and Dept. of AIDS Control, Delhi are really appreciable. This was an important and very good initiative to bring different Sate & District on to one platform to discuss and plan Social Protection Guideline for the People Living with HIV and AIDS & HRGs.

             

DAPCU Bhavnagar Response to the Theme: Care and Support Services for PLHIVs in the Absence of CCCs

Has DAPCU faced any problems after closing CCC in the District?

• Yes, we have the faced the problem when PLHIV pt. come from interfere villages for taken a health services. We have no any places where there pt. is stay for night.

• Also problem occurs for minor OI treatment.

• Sometime pt. receives the treatment but not get a psycho-socio support from health facility.

• Major problem in outreach activity specially tracking of MISS & LFU cases.

• Not specific system for tracking of MISS & LFU cases by staff.

What are the good practices or approaches adopted to provide medical care to PLHIV within the district?

• There is a one option for provide medical care to PLHIV sensitize the all health worker about care and support to PLHIV. 

• Give the training about care and support ( ART regimen, OI treatment, eligibility criteria for ART, CD4 importance)to PHC and CHC medical officer. Also training give to private practitioner for ARTC. And inform them for what type of services given from ARTC to PLHIV. 

• Establish the LINK ART CENTER   at the  each and every ICTC and PPTCT. Because all medical and paramedical staff will involve the CST Programme. And also PLHIV will taken a ART for long time regularly. Therefore reduce the work burden from Nodal  ARTC.  Also benefit for partner testing. 

Bhavnagar DAPCU Response to the Theme- Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Services to the HIV Positive Migrants

Prevention & Early Detection

• In the migration group, it is difficult to detect early because of mobility. But we can try to prevent and detect early e. g. identifying the migrant’s area in the city; district and state then we can start an intervention.
• We try to contact with community leaders and connect and involve them in the programme.
• Develop the IEC and BCC material in their own languages.
• Establish the facility either in or near to their areas.
• We also try to meet owner of their work places, industries; shads to obtain the permission to organize a programme. Also request them to provide the leaves to migrant workers for taking services.
• We also plan our service schedules as per their availability, holiday etc. 

Linking  to ART, Treatment Adherence, Follow-up of MIS & LFU

• Arrange the meeting with president of association of industries, owner of work place for giving permission and leave for taking treatment.
• Setting ARTC’s time schedule according to migrant’s time & availability.
• Prepare IEC,BCC material in their own languages and as per their social aspects.
• In the cases of MIS’ & LFUs we have tried to contact with their state’s sacs and also particular district’s ARTC; where the first visit of MIS was done.
• Sharing a line list of migrant MIS & LFUs among ARTCs.
• Contact with leaders of communities to track migrants, because many time leader has more authentic information about place of migrations.
• Establish on-line system for transfer out patients.  

PPTCT services

• Develop the peer educator system, specially for migrant ANCs. Because non-awareness of migrant females about services provide by PHCs, CHCs and other healthcare centers.
• She doesn’t know the name and address of ASHA Workers of their areas.
• She feels loneliness in these types of situations.

Mehsana DAPCU Response to the Theme- Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Services to the HIV Positive Migrants

Profile of the District: 

Mehsana district is located in North Gujarat, about 75 km from Ahmedabad.The district borders with Banaskantha district in the north, Patan and Surendranagar districts in the west, Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad districts in the south and Sabarkantha district in the east.The major crops of Mehsana are Potato, Cotton, Tobacco, Oilseeds, Castor Seeds, Cumin, Psyllium and Anise .Asia’s second largest dairy ‘Dudhsagar Milk Cooperative Dairy’ and largest market yard ‘Unjha’ is located in Mehsana.‘Sun Temple’ at Modhera is an important tourist destination of Mehsana district. High out-migration to Surat and Mumbai for Diamond work, courier services (Angadiya) and for Transport related work from across the District and abroad also.High in-migration from Rajasthan and other parts of Gujarat.

In Mehsana district generally the positive migrant clients are from Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Patan & other nearest district and also from Rajasthan state & Maharastra state. Within the District migrant positive clients are linked to ART Center nearer to Patan & nearest district at Govt.District Hospital, Patan, Banaskantha & Sabarkantha for Pre-ART registration, CD4 count.  If CD4 count is less than 350 then efforts are made for registering the positive clients on ART at ART Center.

Whenever any client found positive from other district (Patan, Sabarkantha & Banaskantha), counselor provides option to Client for taking ART treatment according to Client choice. If client is willing to continue the treatment from his own district then Client is transfer out to that particular district ART Center for further treatment, if CD4 count is less than 350 we put him on ART. Counselors note down the permanent, current address & Mobile number of respective client for further follow up.

The MIS/LFU line-list share with the LWS, ICTCs, DSRCs, CSC, Jatan Project for tracking the LFU/MIS patient and revert back them to ART. DAPCU plays a major role for taking the follow-up of such activities.

DAPCU track the migrant ANC delivery as per EDD & also confirm the EID Follow up by tracking PPTCT calendar.

DAPCU & ART Center conduct the Monthly meeting with LWS, ICTCs, DSRCs, CSC, Jatan Project for LFU & Linkages.

Example:

In the month of July-13 one Couple HIV positive Diagnosed (1 is ANC & 1 is General Client) in ICTC Unjha from Banaskantha District, who is ART Registration at ARTC Patan.

            ANCs commonly avail services in two districts viz. at her parents’ home and at her marital home. Tracing and follow up between districts becomes difficult for EID/DBS, 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 18 month.

Example:

In the month of March-13 we had one ANC HIV positive Diagnosed (first test) in FICTC Ambaliyasan from Sabarkantha District, than she go to her parents’ home at Sunsar Ta.Bhiloda Di.Sabarkantha. District Supervisor DAPCU Mehsana informed to ICTC Counselor Bhiloda for Confirmation. She reached to ICTC & Confirmatory test done at ICTC Bhiloda & She found HIV Positive & ICTC Counselor Bhiloda counsel her & she agree for delivery at ICTC Bhiloda.

Ahmedabad Response to coordination among DAPCUs

Coordination among DAPCUs

Coordination is indispensable thing among DAPCUs and it goes on regular interval. Obviously coordination is needed to work together for the DAPCUs. We have 10 (ten) DAPCUs in the state, moreover we often coordinate on various matters regarding data sharing, presentation, maps, reporting, LFU etc.

The issues on which DAPCUs support each other 

• LFU/Mis
• EID
• Data sharing
• Mapping
• PLHA line listing

How is this coordination achieved?

• LFU/Mis- Through PLHIV the line listing we coordinate with others DAPCUs and thereafter respective DAPCU with the help of counselor take the home visit of LFU/MIS patients.
• EID- Through ANC the line listing we coordinate with others DAPCUs and thereafter respective DAPCU with the help of counselor and orw take the home visit of ANC patients and make sure that DBS testing will be done in nearest/selected EID center.
• Mapping-Periodically we update Spatial map with the coordination of other DAPCUs.

What role do the SACS play in enhancing this co-ordination?

• SACS should conduct training cum workshop for the coordination among DAPCUS on regular basis to ease the coordination.
• Should conduct meeting with government stakeholders so that more and more PLHA can avail social and government schemes.

Share a few examples in which you have taken the support of other DAPCUs and how it has helped you.

We have very often support DAPCU-Mehasana DAPCU-Surat and DAPCU-surendranager on tracking LFU /MIS patients. Through PLHIV the line listing we coordinate with others DAPCUs and thereafter respective DAPCU with the help of counselor take the home visit of LFU/MIS patients. In this away we track LFU/MIS patients and moreover it works for us and others DAPCUs.

Mehsana's Response to Theme- DAPCUs and F-ICTCs

What is the role of DAPCUs in establishing F-ICTCs? How do you help in

DAPCU role is very critical and very responsible role in the working of the FI-ICTCs. Continuous mobilization and continuous follow-up is required.  Mobilization in terms of the Cluster SPHOs, PHC Medical Officers they should own the programme.

Locating a suitable health facility to establish  F-ICTCs

1. General Out Patients more than 30 clients per day

2. Existence of the Lab Technician (for HIV Tests) and Staff Nurse (Counseling and follow-up)

3. Priority should be given to the Designated Microscopic Centre if existed.

4. This facility is far away (more than 20 kms) from the CHC/Area Hospital. 

Capacity building of the F-ICTC (i. e. training of staff, providing registers/ formats, providing guidance, supervision etc.)

Training of the Staff; initially Lab Technician should be trained at nearby Area Hospital/District Hospital for one day for HIV Testing and Universal Precautions, Waste management, registers Maintenance, Kit’s maintenance and testing Protocols/charts, registers like lab register, stock register, etc. Initially Staff Nurse/ANM/FHW Should be given induction at the nearby Area Hospital/District Hospital (for one Days)  by the existing Counselor  on the counseling skills, consent forms, pre-test counseling (individual & group counseling), lab forms,  post-test counseling, if 1^st positive refer to Nearest Stand Alone ICTC  etc., and counseling registers, universal precautions. Also Induction Training Provide by GSACS to FICTC LTs & Staff Nurse/ANM/FHW. Intensified TB-HIV Package Training Provide to FICTC MOs & Pharmasists by DAPCU.

Strengthening of linkages between F-ICTC and Designated ICTCs 

Every F-ICTC tested the client with HIV testing Kit-1, if client found positive, F-ICTCs should refer the client for confirmation at nearest ICTCs. So DAPCU must initiate the easy process and better co-ordination between F-ICTC and nearest Designated ICTC. So that client tested easily for confirmation without any problems.

Monitoring and evaluation of F-ICTCs

           

Every Month DPO, DIS & DAPCU Staff & also Concern ICTC Counselor should visit the F-ICTCs and identify the gaps and counsel the staff for gaps identified and overcome them in the presence of the Medical Officer. Also Taluka Health officer attend the every DAPCU monthly meeting & review of FICTC. Discuss about FICTC Work in monthly MO meeting organized by NRHM.

Share a few achievements from your districts in this regard

All PHCs in the district are 53 , 2 CHC and all are equipped with F-ICTCs and all are functioning and reporting  100%  and PPP model 9 F-ICTC made MOU with our programme and all are functioning and reporting 100%. The all F-ICTCs Reporting are through SIMS.

The role of DAPCUs to support TI-NGOs is very important because DAPCUs are working with TI-NGOs at ground level to support in the betterment of their performance with the goal of reduction in the rate of HIV Positivity in the HRGs.

1. Every month DAPCU reviews TIs with respect to targets achieved by them, gaps between targets and their achievements, reasons for gaps and hindrances faced by them during their efforts.

Navasari Response for the Theme of the Month-Mainstreaming

Importance of this activity

HIV/AIDS remains the greatest sustainable human development challenge for Society Its impacts have increasingly become complex and affect all economic and social sectors. The impacts range from declining life expectancy, economic productivity, and investment in education, health, agriculture and human capital development. HIV is threatening the traditional community safety measures food security and long-term social economic development by contributing to deepening poverty, reducing individuals‟ ability to save and invest financial resources.

Strategies

The underlying principle of this policy is to save lives at all costs. With the effective safety measures under Social protection, the government can encourage moderate risk –taking by the poor leading to high average income and hence shielding the poor from economic, social, environmental and political shocks.

Integration of Social and Behavior Change .Communication interventions in the work place, schools and community.

The Role of DAPCU 

The  DAPCU  is  playing important role in coordination of all sector-based Like Low socio economic to high socio economic cluster to reduce the rate of HIV infection.  DAPCU involve in district-level HIV/AIDS prevention & control programme with guideline of NACO.

Navsari DAPCU : Blood Donation

Significance of voluntary blood donation

No one can manufacture blood. In spite of the rapid and remarkable advancements in medical science today, it is only in human beings that human blood is made and circulated. Hence, donation - rather voluntary donation is the only way of accumulating blood at safe storage to meet emergency requirements for saving lives. If someone really loves oneself and other fellow beings, the only way to express it is to donate blood voluntarily. Donating blood means giving life to someone and it is believed that voluntary blood donors command the highest respect for their sacrifice. This is the greatest gift one can do for the mankind. Voluntary Blood Donors are saviors of mankind.

NAVSARI DAPCUs promotion for Voluntary Blood Donation
The main activities done in Navsari District

• Analysis of blood requirements in district Navsari with the help of data gathered from Blood banks.
• create awareness among students/youths regarding blood donation,
• sensitize principals and teachers of colleges/educational institutes/local clubs/NGOs regarding voluntary blood donation,
• Sensitize all CHC, PHC doctors MPHW, ASHA worker, (v)
• Evaluate the effectiveness of various strategies for donor motivation. , Remarkable work done for creation of DATA BASE of voluntary blood donor in the District. 1500 blood donor contact details are prepared.

Blood Donation Camps in Navsari

After analysis of Blood requirements DAPCU Navsari initiated blood donation camp (17/9/12) and 721 units of blood was collected. In the second Blood Donation camp (25/9/12) we collected 400 units blood.

Challenges faced-

• Unawareness/ignorance of the general public about voluntary blood donation and to some extent their fear and misconceptions regarding blood donation.
• Government and Non-government authorities’ coordination was not up to the mark.
