Within the framework of World Tuberculosis Day celebrated on March 24, the coordination team of the OECS Tuberculosis/HIV Elimination Project conducted a one day sensitization campaign targeting the community of Anse-La-Raye.
Over 50 inhabitants of Anse-La-Raye were sensitized to the Tuberculosis/HIV Elimination Project with presentations to the nursing service of the community, along with testimonials from patients affected by tuberculosis.
The coordination team of the Tuberculosis/HIV Elimination Project concluded the community visit by implementing a question-and-answer session to enhance public awareness and deepen the understanding of participants about both diseases.
This targeted initiative forms part of a regional campaign undertaken in partnership with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the Global Fund.
The USD $5 million Tuberculosis and HIV Elimination Project which is aimed at preventing and controlling the diseases in the Eastern Caribbean, operates in six participating OECS member states: Saint-Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint-Lucia, Antigua, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis and Grenada.
