Strengthening community capacity in tuberculosis prevention
From September 23 to 26 in Dak Lak, SCDI organized an in-depth training on TB prevention with the participation of CSET members and village health teams. Launched in 2022, the Community System to End TB (CSET) has actively contributed to TB prevention in the community, especially in proactively detecting TB and latent TB cases, actively supporting TB cases to be successfully treated and potential TB cases to complete treatment.
This training program brought many notable contents such as:
  • Stay up to date with the latest knowledge about TB
  • Improve communication skills
  • Information technology system user manual

Through the training program, CSET has been equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to help: Early detection of suspected cases of tuberculosis, and at the same time advise and guide patients to medical facilities for timely testing and treatment; carry out communication campaign on TB prevention and control, answer existing misunderstandings about TB in the community; monitor, evaluate and report on the situation of tuberculosis in the area. With the knowledge and skills equipped, SCDI believes that CSET will continue to promote its role and be the core force in the fight against TB in the community, contributing to the realization of the goal of ending TB by 2030

Each child brought home a box of mooncakes and a lantern to gather with their families in this special occasion.
