The Department of Health is offering a grant to improve decentralized TB health systems through the TB Platforms activity. This grant aims to enhance case detection and treatment success rates while decreasing default rates at various levels of the health system. It encourages collaboration with civil society, NGOs, private healthcare providers, and patient groups to support TB case finding and outreach efforts. The grant will focus on developing sustainable financing mechanisms and engaging new partners to help reduce the TB epidemic in alignment with the Philippine Strategic Tuberculosis Elimination Plan. Key goals include promoting health behaviors at the community level, implementing interventions at high TB burden regions, and strengthening local health systems for optimal TB service delivery.

| Description: | The TB Platforms activity will focus on improving decentralized TB health systems by bolstering health program components at the regional, local government unit, provincial, city, municipal and community levels to increase TB and drug-resistant TB case detection and treatment success rates while also decreasing default rates. The TB Platforms activity is intended to bring civil society, non-governmental partners, private health care providers, and patient groups to support the Department of Health and local government units with case finding, case holding and outreach activities. It is expected to develop, test, and apply innovative and sustainable financing mechanisms and principles to increase the capacity and sustain engagement of civil society and new partners to help reduce the TB epidemic and meet the targets set in the five year Philippine Strategic Tuberculosis Elimination Plan Phase 1 (PhilSTEP1). It will closely coordinate its activities with the “TB Innovations and Health systems Strengthening” activity to ensure complementarity of activities, seamless transition from national to provincial levels and avoid duplication in technical assistance. The TB Platforms will aim to achieve the following: (1) families and communities adopt and improve health behaviors; (2) high-impact interventions are implemented at scale in the regions with the highest TB burden; and (3) key local health systems are bolstered to facilitate efficient and optimal delivery of quality TB services. |
