The National Tuberculosis Control Programme (PNLT), as part of the
optimisation of the fight against tuberculosis, has organised a programmatic
review of tuberculosis in Togo. This review follows on from the work of the
epidemiological review and is co-financed by the World Health Organisation
(WHO) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM).
Started on October 17, 2022, the programmatic review of tuberculosis in
Togo has seen several activities. Eight teams made up of experts and some
health system actors made a field visit during one week to collect information
and check the availability of tools at the decentralised level. These teams
also had the opportunity to meet with and gather input from the various actors
in the fight against tuberculosis and the health system with a view to making
improvements.
To agree on the results of this review, a feedback workshop was organised
on Friday 28 October 2022 in the room of the General Secretariat of the
Ministry of Health, Public Hygiene and Universal Access to Health Care. The
general objective of the workshop was to validate the results of the programmatic
review. More specifically, it was about the presentation of the results of the
programmatic review while highlighting the strong points, the points to be
improved and the recommendations for the fight against tuberculosis in Togo.
Discussions were held on the results obtained by the consultants of the
epidemiological review in order to obtain a consensus on the various points
mentioned above, namely the strong points, points for improvement and
recommendations of the programmatic review.
Consensus obtained, objective achieved. This is the result of exchanges
between the participants, the consultants and the coordination of the fight
against tuberculosis. The results of these reviews will enable Togo to progress
in the fight against tuberculosis. In the next few days, the NTP will move on
to develop a new National Strategic Plan (NSP) for the next cycle from 2024 to
2028.
