Projects

The USAID-funded Defeat TB project in Kyrgyzstan aimed to improve TB case detection, treatment, and follow-up, esepcially for multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB patients in outpatient settings. FHI 360 had major contributions in three areas: laboratory strengthening of the national TB network and response, MDR TB case management and guidance, and the improvement of infection control practices. In this project, FHI 360 also supported an overall vision for universal and equitable access to high quality TB services for vulnerable populations through national health reform and the development of a community-oritned system of TB care.
