Infection Control Tools

Started by Moses Bateganya on 14 Jul 2009

Dear members
I am looking for materials or tool kits that help health care workers at a facility to implement TBIC. Would like to include such a tool or materials in training package for inservice and preservice.

Dear Moses,

Thanks for your question! This is a topic that has been addressed here in the TB Infection Control community, and I'm happy to share links to some of these resources. Also, try using the Search box at the top right corner to find even more information from the GHDonline communities and from other global health websites. Hope this helps!


GENERAL TB INFECTION CONTROL GUIDELINES

Hello,
I realize that this is not quite the right forum for my question, but in much the same vein as Moses' request for tools/materials to help facilities implement TB infection control, I am wondering if people can help point me to such resources to help facilities implement IPT and case finding efforts.

Thanks you,
Anders Chen

Greetings all!

I cc'd Dr Taraz Samandari of CDC's Division of TB Elimination. He just gave an excellent presentation, at the IUATLD World Conference, of an IPT study he coordinated in Botswana (a 6+ year effort). I believe he would be a great resource; however, the conference is still ongoing!
