Improving Access to TB Diagnostics in Zone-3 of Afar Region

REACH Ethiopia is making significant strides in improving TB services in Afar Region’s Zone 3. By partnering with Expertise France and the Ethiopian Public Health Institute, we’ve implemented an approach using motorbike drivers to transport TB specimens. This innovative solution addresses the challenges of limited access to diagnostic services in remote pastoralist communities.

Additionally, to ensure the program’s effectiveness, we recently held a comprehensive review meeting. Key stakeholders shared their progress, challenges, and plans for the future. This collaborative effort is crucial for identifying areas for improvement and ensuring that TB programs are on track to meet their goals.

Through these initiatives, REACH Ethiopia is working tirelessly to reduce the burden of TB in the region by providing timely and accessible diagnostic services. Our commitment to improving the health and well-being of vulnerable populations is evident in our innovative approach and dedication to collaboration.

REACH Ethiopia grew out of a TB project that started in 2010. This project introduced an innovative community package that engaged health extension workers (HEWs) to increase TB case detection and treatment adherence.
