Over nine days at the UMA International Trade Fair, USTP and partners ran awareness sessions and on-site TB screening.
USTP used the Uganda Manufacturers Association’s annual International Trade Fair at the UMA Show Grounds, Lugogo, in October 2024 to raise TB awareness and find cases.
For more than nine days, USTP worked with TB survivors’ networks, the Federation of Uganda Employers and TASO to hold awareness sessions, distribute educational materials and offer on-site TB screening.
The campaign reached more than 50,000 people and screened 38 for TB. Confirmed cases were promptly linked to care at Kiswa HC III.
