An orientation on the '3HP regimen for latent TB infection' was conducted for treatment centre staff in Morang, under the HOPE project, bringing together government stakeholders and the BNMT project team.
BNMT Vice Chair Dr. Buddha Basnyat facilitated discussions on the 3HP treatment protocol and project background, while Deputy Director Gyanendra Shrestha shared BNMT’s experience implementing 3HP in Chitwan and Pyuthan. Dr. Basanta Kumar Mehta, NATA Morang, led the technical session on 3HP medicines, dosage, treatment procedures, LTBI algorithms, Mantoux testing, X-ray, and recording and reporting.
Dr. Kritipal Subedi, Secretary of the Provincial Ministry of health highlighted the need to move beyond a treatment-focused approach and accelerate efforts to break the chain of TB transmission through early diagnosis, awareness, community engagement, and support for people affected by TB.
