Introduction

Root Cause Analysis of Low Performance in Percentage of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) given Isoniazid (INH) Preventive Treatment (IPT) Against Total Eligible PLHIV

Low performance means the eligible PLHIV are not getting the INH preventive therapy as desired. The data is available with National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) and analyse it in terms of: 

Performance Indicator - Percentage of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) given INH Preventive Treatment (IPT) Against Total Eligible PLHIV

Measures the capacity of the programme to initiate TB preventive treatment for all individuals with HIV who are eligible for the same.

 Root Cause Analysis in Percentage of Children given Chemoprophylaxis from the Total Eligible Children Identified

The low performance means the children less than 5 years of age who are eligible for chemoprophylaxis are not receiving it as desired.

The data is available in Ni-kshay; analyse it in terms of :

NTEP Performance Indicator - Percentage of Children given Chemoprophylaxis from the Total Eligible Children Identified

This indicator measures the capacity of the programme to initiate TB Preventive Treatment  (TPT) in children < 5 years of age eligible for the same.

Root Cause Analysis for Low Performance in Percentage Expenditure Against Approved Record of Proceedings (ROP)

Low performance means the fund for National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) is not utilised as expected.

The data for the same is available in Public Financial Management System (PFMS) portal and the non-utilisation of funds can occur in two scenarios:

1. Absent or delayed fund flow

2. Non-utilisation of the already available fund

Analyse the data as follows:

NTEP Performance Indicator - Percentage Expenditure Against Approved Record of Proceedings (ROP)
 

Root Cause Analysis of Low Performance in Percentage of Rifampicin-resistant (RR)/ Multidrug-resistant (MDR)-TB Cases Initiated on Treatment out of the Total Diagnosed

Low performance means the diagnosed cases of MDR/ RR-TB cases are not started on treatment as desired.

Obtain the data from the Programmatic Management of Drug-resistant TB (PMDT) quarterly report and Ni-kshay and analyse in terms of:
