Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS represent a great public health concern in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. Particularly alarming are the rates of multi-drug resistant and extensively drug resistant tuberculosis forms in the South Caucasus countries along with the increasing prevalence of HIV/AIDS registered cases.
Therefore, this project aims to enhance mechanisms for prevention, increased detection, referral and treatment of HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis among migrant and mobile populations in the South Caucasus countries.
This regional project will include the following outputs:
1. Health promotion campaign among migrant and mobile populations on HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, focusing on preventive screening and treatment adherence;
2. Cross-border and in-country migrant health survey providing evidence-based recommendations for the elaboration of a coordinated, regional migrant-centred approach for HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis prevention and surveillance;
3. Capacity building of healthcare professionals and border authorities facilitating the establishment of a regional professional network aimed at enhancing referral mechanisms and elaborating migrant-friendly healthcare policies and programmes.
