    Challenges Faced

    • Security issues in northern regions limited access at times.
    • High levels of poverty and malnutrition complicated treatment adherence.
    • Language and cultural barriers required tailored community engagement strategies.

    Sustainability and Exit Strategy

Partnerships with Niger’s Ministry of Public Health ensured continuity of services, and community health networks were established to maintain follow-up and support for TB patients.


    Conclusion

    The Neftaly Tuberculosis Program significantly contributed to improving TB control in Niger between 2006 and 2011. Through a collaborative, community-based approach, the initiative laid a foundation for sustained TB management and strengthened the capacity of Niger’s health system to respond to infectious diseases.
