The Uganda Stop TB Partnership (USTP) has revolutionized TB screening in Mukono district prisons. With USTP’s leadership, the project identified gaps in TB screening and implemented routine screenings for new inmates. This initiative uncovered 327 presumptive cases, leading to immediate treatment and significantly increasing reported TB cases. USTP’s efforts demonstrate excellence and a profound impact on improving health care in high-risk environments.

USTP, in collaboration with USAID and local partners, made a groundbreaking impact by addressing TB among taxi operators in Kampala. Through targeted outreach in the New Taxi Park, over four days, hundreds were screened for TB, and key cases were identified and linked to care, saving lives and preventing further transmission. This initiative demonstrated the power of collaboration, involving community leaders, health facilities, and civil society organizations to reach underserved populations.

At Nakawuka Health Centre III in Wakiso District, an alarming three-month period without any TB case detections highlighted gaps in service delivery, including passive TB screening and inadequate coordination. With support from USAID Defeat TB, a quality improvement (QI) initiative transformed TB care by training health workers, appointing a TB focal person, and strengthening referral systems. Over just three months, TB screening rates skyrocketed from 19% to 99%, leading to the detection of 22 new TB cases.
