BACKGROUND INFORMATION Basic health services are partially management to the local health direction, except to private health services. Lima, The Capital City has the most number of private physicians, clinics and hospitals (specialty and tertiary, both public and private) Implementation of the DOTS Strategy: 100% TB, all forms is the 25th leading cause of morbidity and 11th leading cause of mortality (2004) In 2004 the case detection rate was 65% and the cure rate was 89,6% 77% of Tuberculosis patients are productive population.

PROJECT NAME: Improving case finding through effective Laboratory management and health education in the National Tuberculosis Program of Peru DURATION: April 2006- April 2009 TARGET AREA: Peru country TARGET GROUP: Health workers and community. DATE: February 12, 2006
PROJECT DESIGN MATRIX Narrative Summary Objectively Verifiable Indicators Means of Verification Important Assumptions Overall Goal: To achieved a case detection of 90% or more The case detection rate will increased by 40% in 2009 Annual Reports Cohort Analysis Health Indicators The new government will permit to continue the project. Project Purpose: 1. Case finding are improved. 2. Good knowledge about TB by health workers and community. 1.The number of TB cases detected increased by 20% in 2009. 2.The number of major errors are reduced by Laboratory reduced by 50% in 2009. 3.The number of health workers with knowledge about TB increased by 30% in 2009. 4.The number of community with knowledgeable about TB increased in 20% in 2009. Annual Reports KAP Survey about knowledge in health workers and community National Institute for Health continue to support the NTP Trained health workers will remain working with the health directions.
Outputs: Quality of Laboratories improved. Health Workers increased knowledge on NTP Knowledge about TB for the Community is improved. 1.The number of Laboratories with good equipment and supplies increase by 40% in 2009. 2.The number of Health workers with high knowledge about NTP increase by 50% in 2009. 3.The number of community with high health education about TB increase by 30% in 2009. Annual Report of National Institute of Health KAP Survey about knowledge in health workers and community National Institute for Health continue to support the NTP Assigned budget for KAP Survey
