Less than six months have passed since the contracts with the winners of the small grants program within TB-REP 2.0 project have been signed, still the very first reports received from them indicate that the organizations that submitted the applications took their obligations seriously enough and started their implementation almost immediately, without paying attention to the summer heat and the period of traditional leaves. The following has been implemented over the past few months by two of the organizations implementing projects on advocacy to bridge the gap between civil society and the health services to ensure quality people-centered TB care.

Moldova, National Association of Tuberculosis Patients (SMIT), project “Joining efforts for an acceptable TB people-centered care”

This allowed to establish working contacts with specialists, without participation of which successful implementation of the project is impossible.
  • 2 articles were published in the newspaper of Floresti district, one of the districts where SMIT implements the project. More than 2,500 newspaper subscribers received explanations of experts that TB patients who regularly receive treatment do not pose a danger to others and need psychosocial support to maintain adherence to treatment.
  • Three “health corners” were opened in the district libraries (Floresti, Soroca, Comrat), so library visitors can get acquainted with information materials on TB, watch short films offering basic information about tuberculosis in an accessible form. The opening of the “corners” was accompanied by information sessions for social and medical workers on an outpatient tuberculosis treatment model.
  • Preparations have been made for shooting video stories of patients that are supposed to be used during advocacy events - patients who have expressed a desire to openly share their experience were identified.
