Outline of the Training course Introduction: Transmission of tuberculosis (TB) in health care and congregate settings is a major challenge to TB control and public health. However, many countries lack the institutional capacity to adequately address TB infection control. Recently, the importance of appropriate TB infection control has become increasingly acknowledged due to reports of an extensively drug resistant TB (XDR- TB) outbreak in South Africa which predominantly affected people living with HIV/AIDS. This outbreak had a very high case-fatality rate, included both patients and health care workers and was likely preventable had there been appropriate infection control measures in place. Nonetheless, at present, only a handful of qualified international and national experts are available to provide technical assistance in TB infection control training, planning, implementation and monitoring. Multiple international TB control partners in a coalition with TBCAP including the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/American Thoracic Society, the KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation, the World Health Organization, the International Union against TB and Lung Disease, Management Sciences for Health, Family Health International, Japan Anti-TB Association (JATA) among others have acknowledged the importance of capacity development in TB infection control in developing countries. To this end, KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation, of behalf of TBCAP organized a training course in Gaborone, Botswana, 18-22 February 2008 to increase the number of qualified consultants available to conduct TB infection control assessments and to develop infection control plans, particularly for countries with a high burden of TB, high rates of HIV or high rates of MDR-TB. Criteria for selection and enrollment into this course: Working experience as a consultant or willingness to work as a consultant in health related issues with particular emphasis on TB, HIV and/or airborne infections Availability to participate in a one-week mission as an on-thejob/complementary training with an international TB infection control consultant (within one year after the training course) Be available to conduct two field missions per year and provide requisite offsite follow-up The course focused on teaching following skills: o How to conduct a health facility TB infection control risk assessment o How to develop an infection control plan o How to implement the hierarchy of infection control measures o How to conduct missions as an international consultant (preparation, cultural aspects and safety issues) Course Coordinator: Dr Masoud Dara (KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation) Facilitators: Paul Jensen (CDC/USA), Masoud Dara (KNCV), Rose Pray (WHO-HQ), Nancy Jensen (CDC/USA on leave), Cristi Popa (Institute Pneumolog Romania/Free Lancer), Scano Fabio (WHO-HQ) Secretaries/logistics: Orlanda Graca (KNCV), Susan Makani (Free lancer) 3
o o o o o Methodology Presentations by facilitators in the plenary Introductory presentation of each level of Infection control hierarchy Questions and Answers during and after each presentations, sharing country experiences on TB Infection control Field visit to Inpatients and outpatients and facility risk assessment in small groups Reporting observations and recommendation back in the plenary Process The organizing committee (facilitators) prepared an application form and first announcement in December 2007 and sent it around through their network of national and international partners. In total 37 applications were received, based on selection criteria, 33 participants were selected of whom three were self funded and the rest were funded through TBCAP mechanism and its partners. Two participants could not attend due to administrative problems (loss of passport, lack of available paper ticket). 31 participants attended the course. Anonymous pre-test and post-test examinations were carried out so that each participant may assess himself/herself individually. An end-course evaluation by participants was conducted, summary of which you may find in this report. After the course, a rooster Excel sheet was prepared and sent to participants. Most participants indicated their availabilities for mentorship process in order to gain more experience on TB-IC. Next Steps The faculty met after the training course and agreed to do their best to make sure there is a follow-up for the training course. Most participants do not feel competent to conduct TB-IC missions on their own. There will be different types of TB-IC linked missions which vary from technical assessment on programmatic aspects of TB-IC, MDR-TB missions with link to TB-IC and full TB-IC assessment missions with detailed environmental/engineering aspects. The follow-up will be done by different TBCAP partners. The follow-up mechanism will be linked to other TBCAP initiatives, including developing the overall HRD strategy of TB-IC and coordination of mentorship process. 4

Summary of end-course evaluation by participants We received course evaluations from the vast majority of participants (29/31). Twenty-seven participants (93%) indicated that the course met their expectations. However, some feedback for improvement was included (selected two or more participants mentioned this) as follows: The course evaluation must be anonymous as names were asked and this potentially biases the candidness of participants The course should be better guided by evidence and references to such evidence, such as in a course reader for each section. More on what is not know would also be useful. Pre-distribution of the literature CD-rom would be preferable than handing it out at the end of the course. The costing and budgeting for TB-IC to support funding efforts, such as via the Global Fund, should be explicitly instructed The course should have smaller group break out sessions and the first two days did not allow enough interaction. The course, per many participants, should be more focused. The environmental control lectures were not focused enough and more time could be dedicated to this subject area. The clinic visits could have been shortened Provide more details of the writing of an infection control plan and perhaps have a mock infection control plan writing with budgeting The blood-borne pathogens should be shortened or completely deleted from the course. The course days were too long and this was not conducive for learning. The lunch hour could be extended to 2 hours instead of one, for instance. Or the course could end on Friday after lunch. Friday was very packed. Could consider ending the course at 4:30PM per day and possibly extended by another day if the content needs to be made up. Could consider having the field visits for only ½ day. Consider having additional 5 minute breaks. Generally, sessions should not last longer than 1 hour. On overall outline of the course should be given on the 1st day. Overall take home messages: o Could engage the trained consultant so that they do not forget via international missions. Did not focus enough on these possibilities on the last day. o Special website for the TB IC consultant would be beneficial o Need to have objectives for each session and not stray off course from the stated objectives o o Make more use of expertise in the room e.g., with small group sessions Change order of lectures to start more with the big picture, assessment then technical details Other: name tags might be useful, folders for materials, toolkit to take home, evaluations could be done per day instead of at the end, coffee and tea should be provided all day long and perhaps u-shaped seating arrangements are better. 6
