Meeting With The Partners From Komi on the "Syktyvkar - A Territory Free From Tuberculosis" Project

On June 25, 2021, EB Fund team had an online round table with the project group of the Komi Republican TB Dispensary.

The agenda covered the implementation of project activities in the second quarter of 2021 and the preliminary results of the project for the six months.

The activities planned for this period have been fully implemented. Experts noted the significant impact of outpatient treatment, individual support, namely - receiving food sets - as a powerful incentive for patients to cure tuberculosis.

The project in Syktyvkar also boosted active case finding and attracting key populations to examination so as to find tuberculosis or latent tuberculosis infection and start treatment early. Within a half of a year 1,800 people have been reached already. This is a valuable contribution to preventing the spread of tuberculosis infection among the residents of the city of Syktyvkar!
