USAID integrated Delivery of Tuberculosis Service (iDOTS) Activity

The purpose of the USAID/Nigeria integrated Delivery of TB Services (iDOTS) Activity is to reach every person with TB, cure those in need of treatment, prevent new infections and progression to active disease, while scaling-up innovations in detection, care, and treatment, and fostering local ownership to sustain TB programs that contribute to integrated primary health care services and pandemic preparedness in supported states. The USAID/Nigeria iDOTS Activity will focus on locally generated solutions to provide TB prevention, screening, diagnosis, care and treatment services, while addressing stigma and discrimination. The iDOTS - Nigeria activity will expand provision of and increase access to TB services among formal and informal health providers by engaging the NTBLCP platforms, private sector, umbrella and local chapters of health and allied professional organizations, faith-based institutions, communities and civil society. This new iDOTS Activity will help achieve USAID/Nigeria's development objective of a healthier, more educated population in targeted states through utilization of quality health services in target areas and population groups.
