  9. Regional PPM Progress • To date, most of the NTPs have carried out alliances with other suppliers specially with the public sector not previously involved (hospitals, public insurance, prisons, military and police health services and others). • Other initiatives have been carried out with the universities and professional societies and to a lesser extent with NGOs and for-profit private sector. • The NTPs’ experience engaging private pharmacies and traditional medicine is scarce.

  15. Constraints and challenges for PPM implementation in the Americas • Weakness of the NTP leadership in some countries • Limited experience in coordination, integration and alliances with other actors • Public and private insurance security focused on curative care • Segmented and disorganized private sector with limited interest. • Scarce knowledge of the role and coverage of the private sector, including private pharmacies. • Scarce knowledge of the participation of tradicional medicine

  16. Opportunities for PPM implementation in The Americas • PPM included in the Regional TB plan and several country plans, some with specific budgets and indicators. • PPM activities supported by the GFATM • Existence of technical and financial support from partners • Free TB drugs available • Some positive pilot experiences in countries and expansion already underway • ISTC available and Regional implementation guidelines developed • National Stop TB partnerships already organized in 4 countries: Brazil, Honduras, Mexico and Peru

  17. Regional Priorities2008-2009 • Expand the PPM initiative at country level in BOL,ECU, DOR, BRA, MEX. • Carry out the PPM surveys in four countries (COL, PAR, GUAT, URU) and implement the PPM initiative • Promote the adoption of the ISTC and the Patient chart  improve the quality on DOTS among all health providers. • Disseminate the implementation guidelines for the ISTC The adoption of the ISTC is recognized as a great opportunity to reach the objectives of TB control in the Region.

  18. Regional Priorities2008-2009 • Strengthen advocacy efforts to include PPM activities in all TB country plans and Global Fund projects • Conduct PPM consultant training workshops at Regional level • Continue and strengthen technical support to countries for PPM planning and implementation including effective engagement of private laboratories and involvement of informal health care providers and pharmacies.
