Georgia USAID-Tbilisi

Description

USAID has supported tuberculosis control efforts in Georgia since 2003 and is the largest bilateral donor working in TB in the country. USAID/Georgia’s current TB project, the Tuberculosis Treatment and Control Program, will end in March 2011. The new TB activity will continue to support TB control in Georgia. The new TB Prevention project activities will focus on the areas in which USAID’s funds will have the most impact for not only controlling but also reducing the number of TB cases in Georgia:Provide training and increase awareness of general medical practitioners to recognize the symptoms of TB in order to limit the spread of the disease through earlier detection of TB cases;Provide technical training and monitoring of DOTS clinics across the country rather than focusing on several geographic areas;Rehabilitation of selected TB outpatient clinics nationwide.
