National TB Conference Abuja

-






We had a fulfilling experience at the just concluded National TB Conference held in Abuja, where we joined experts across Nigeria and beyond as we chart pathways to ending Tuberculosis.

During the 3-day event, we led conversations on community-based Tuberculosis Preventive Treatment (TPT) interventions while discussing strategies to enhance TPT uptake and improve treatment outcomes, especially within vulnerable communities.

Key highlights from our participation include:

1. Screening of a 5-Minute TPT Documentary showcasing a video that aims to increase awareness and educate communities on the importance of TPT.

2. Presentation on 1HP-based TPT Regimen:

Our team shared our hands-on experience in implementing the 1HP-based TB Preventive Treatment(TPT) regimen in Kano State. This initiative has proven effective in reducing the risk of TB among high-risk groups, and we provided key insights, successes, and challenges faced throughout the process.

3. Engagement in Collaborative Activities where RAHAMA actively participated in Community Village Activities, where we interacted directly with other CSOs and NGOs, raising awareness and sharing knowledge about TB prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Our participation at this year’s conference reaffirms our commitment to the global goal of ending TB by 2030. Together with other stakeholders, we aim to drive forward meaningful change in the fight against tuberculosis, ensuring that no one is left behind.
