National Strategic Plan to Stop TB 2010-2015 is aligned. • Budgeted • 70% - GF supported project, 30% - government Laboratory strengthening •LED 2 LED: NRTL and 1 province A prison hospital and 3 provinces received in Nov 2014 •Xpert 3 GeneXpert –NRTL and 2 provinces NRTL: Total tested 2659, MTB detected 50.2%, error 3.1%, rif resistance detected 18.6% •Quality assurance EQA SSM 36 ZN, 1 LED labs, EQA DST, SSM from RIT, Japan •Laboratory information management system Internet-based system www.tubis.mn •TA partners SRL –RIT, Japan since 2005 Reach the unreached • Active case finding: among high risk populations – prisoners, homeless, medical workers, pregnant women, people living with HIV • Passive case finding: adults by smear examination and X-ray, children tuberculin skin test and X-ray • Contact investigation: family members of smear positive patients, children, MDR-TB – target 100%, in practice – 86% • TB-HIV: screening of people living with HIV for TB by Gene Xpert, all new and relapse TB cases (16 years old and above) tested for HIV. So far 181 HIV cases are reported, out of them 31 are co- infected • Child TB: Operational research on contact investigation, strategy on child TB will be developed in 2015 Surveillance • Quality of surveillance system –Use of national unique ID –Paper and internet based reporting: on time by paper; some difficulties using internet-based system due to internet connection • New case definition roll out – WHO revised definition and reporting framework for tuberculosis introduced in all levels of TB care – pilot in 2014, starting 2015- will be reported officially Surveillance • e-R&R – Internet based reporting – ‘tubis’; – Update of the system based on WHO new definitions – 90% of TB reporting units use ‘tubis’ platform • Analysis and usage of data at national and sub-national levels – Analysis data at the national level on monthly, quarterly and annual basis – Limited capacity at the sub-national level Notified (n=1375) and died (n=325) MDR-TB cases Mongolia, 2003-2013 notified died 250 number 200 started GF supported MDRTB + pilot project 150 100 50 0 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 year Treatment success for MDRTB patients Mongolia , 2006-2010 90 80 85.1 77.2 75 71.6 68 70 60 success 50 death 40 failure 30 WHO target 20 10 0 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Number of XDR-TB cases XDRTB Pre XDRTB 2009 3 2 2010 10 1 2011 6 27 2012 12 9 2013 3 13 2014 6 6 total 40 58 out of them: Died 30 Address unclear 4 Refused 2 Waiting on treatment 2 2 nd line treatment continued 1 Cured 1 PMDT •Plan vs universal coverage –In 2014 planned 219 MDR-TB and 81 PDR patients to enroll in treatment •Barriers –Lack of social support for MDR-TB patients –Lack of experienced health providers ( high turn over of staff) –Lack of management of side effects –Some MDR-TB patients refuse to receive treatment due to various reasons (religious, co-morbidities etc.) PMDT: Priority actions –Strengthening management of MDR-TB patients (counseling, follow up of patients, capacity building of TB providers) –Establishment of patient support groups in collaboration with MATA –Treatment of XDR-TB patients with financial support of the GF –DRS planned in 2015 –TB prevalence survey results to be analyzed –Advocacy to include MDR-TB drugs in Government budget Bold policies and supportive systems •TB care financing and social protection –TB care financed by the Government –No health insurance coverage for TB services –No specific social protection services for TB patients –Within general social protection system TB patients (especially employed) may receive disability benefits for certain period •Strengthening notification mechanism –An estimated 15-20% of diagnosed TB cases are not notified –Supportive supervision should be strengthened –Strengthen internet based reporting and recording •Drug regulations – Progress since drug regulation meeting in March 2014 –New drugs for MDR-TB were included in national essential drug list –Drug information is in the process of revision in internet-based system Patient centred care: involvement of patients and civil society • Community mobilization activities – Patient support groups will be established by MATA with financial support of Stop TB Partnership • CBO involvement and their role – MATA: lunch DOT and home DOT – World vision: TB services for prisoners, homeless – TB Coalition: advocacy for local governments Patient centred care: involvement of patients and civil society • Involvement of patient groups in TB control – In the process of establishment • Forms of social support to TB patients (incentives? TB Pension?
