11. Burden in summary…..
13,500 expected cases per year, but only about 9,000
notified: 4-5,000 missing
TB cases getting older: 39% of cases notified in 2014 were
45+, 43% in 2016
Few children diagnosed
High burden in prisoners (1.68%)
>90% testing for HIV, but PLHIV few
Uncertain burden in diabetics, smokers, malnourished
Treatment success <85%
12. Challenges
No acceleration of TB control
M&E inconsistent, so results are uncertain
Screening of out-patients is not done as expected
Microscopy facilities lacking in big hospitals
Contact screening is not happening as expected
Haphazard active case finding
Low paeditric patients detection
NSP not on target
Multiple plans
Strengthening of NPTCCD required
Replace Category II treatment with DST and appropriate regimen
Infection control in the clinics required
13. Opportunities…..
Low burden of TB
Universal health coverage
Well-equipped hospitals
Well-trained respiratory physicians
Strong DTCOs and district teams
Strong Primary Care network
General Prctioner network
Availability of Private hospitals
Possible collaboration with NCDs/Diabetes/CKDU prevention
programmes
Social support improvement
14. Business as usual is not an option.
Consequence is delay, late diagnosis, extensive
disease, and higher risk of death
Unless case finding and programme performance
can be substantially improved, Sri Lanka will miss
the WHO End TB Strategy targets for 2030.
Unless radical steps are taken to address these
challenges, no substantial progress will be made.
15. TB control priorities for Sri
Lanka
A Strategic Health Communication Campaign
Strengthen the screening of contacts and high risk groups
like Prisoners and HIV positives /AIDS patients
Involvement of private health sector
Involvement of Non Governmental Organizations
&Business community
Involvement of other Ministries like Education ,Social
Welfare and Media
Operational Research for greater understanding of
patients’ pathways to TB care
16. To improve case finding…..
Pilot Districts-NTP Central Unit will set up 2-3 pilot
districts, in collaboration with provincial and regional
health directors to prove that addressing the challenges
above can significantly increase case finding within one
year, and improve treatment outcome
Patient Centered services-NTP will ensure patient-
centered services are provided. All hospitals without
microscopy facilities in OPD should set them up, diagnose
TB cases, register them and initiate treatment on
bacteriologically confirmed cases.
17. To improve case finding…..
Strengthen monitoring and supervision –NTP Central Unit and
DTCOs should provide constant supportive supervision.
Strengthen contact tracing activities-By setting targets for the
PHIs and DTCO to find all contacts and increase the sensitivity
of contact screening by performing chest X-rays.
Active case finding in high risk populations- By strengthening
activities for prison inmates , household contacts and PLHIV.
Introduction of web based record systems -A laboratory
information system and an electronic case-based patient
record system for TB patients.
18. Treatment Regimen & Operational
Research
Treatment Regimen - Urgently phase out Category II
treatment in favour of drug susceptibility testing for all
patients requiring re-treatment, with provision of a
regimen that is appropriate for the resistance pattern
found.
Operational Research-The operational research for greater
understanding of patient’s pathways to TB care ,
performance of TB diagnostic and treatment practices of
the private sector
19. Programme Management
Policy-There should be one policy, one plan and one
surveillance system.
Leadership- Advocate the leadership (political and
administrative )for strengthening the support
Central Unit-Strengthen the NPTCCD Central Unit with
appropriately trained and committed staff
DTCO -Strengthen the District Chest Clinics with required
human resources in order to improve control activities
