TALAKU TB is working very closely with Kajiado Department of medical service & public health and Amref Health Africa through Global Fund in implementing 2019-2023 National Strategic Plan for Tuberculosis, leprosy and lung health. We ensure communities are educated with knowledge on the sign and symptoms of tuberculosis to enable early diagnosis, screening of household with a bacteriological confirm patient to stop the spread of the disease to the family members and the community as a whole and we all can’t achieve this without the help of the Community Health Volunteers. At the community level TALAKU has a good relationship the local administration i.e. the chiefs who have assisted us in bringing back the stubborn treatment interrupters to treatment. We received amazing support with the adopt family initiative, which has seen patients on treatment adhere to treatment without interrupting.
