From the community to a DOTs site, with no patient lost in between.
SFH’s tuberculosis work in Nigeria is anchored by a community-level approach: trained civil-society partners find presumptive cases of drug-susceptible and drug-resistant TB where people live and work, ensure they are evaluated, and link them to DOTs and TB treatment sites so they begin and complete the right course of care.
Programmes shaping the TB response.
TB LON-3 is the flagship, anchoring SFH’s case-finding work across four Southwest states. Two related programmes extend the reach to specific populations.
TB LON-3
Tuberculosis Local Organisations Network 3
A five-year USAID-funded project currently implemented in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, and Osun states. Working through CSO partners on community case-finding of Drug-Susceptible and Drug-Resistant TB cases and linking them to DOTs / TB treatment sites, the project aims to identify presumptive TB cases, ensure they are evaluated, and that they undergo needed treatment.
RIHHWUD
Reducing the Incidence of HIV and Hepatitis among Women Who Use Drugs
A community-level harm-reduction programme integrating HIV, hepatitis, and TB screening for women who use drugs, linking those identified to treatment and ongoing care.
PBP
Paediatric Breakthrough Partnership
A paediatric-focused programme partnering with public-sector facilities to find missing children with TB, scaling new diagnostics and child-friendly treatment regimens.
