Chamber response to SADC Declaration
• Encapsulated in:
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR REDUCING TB, HIV AND SILICOSIS IN THE MINING SECTOR IN
THE SADC REGIONMay 2013

Analysis of requirements from declaration
SADC Declaration Priority Area
What exists Gaps
Strengthening accountability, coordination and collaboration for TB, HIV and silicosis at national and regional levels
• Ministerial Tripartite TB, HIV structures already exist for accountability, coordination and collaboration on TB, HIV and silicosis.
• Country level task teams that provide oversight do not exist.
• Independent office of complaints on health related matters in mining industry does not exist.

Analysis of requirements from declaration
SADC Declaration Priority Area
What exists Gaps
Promoting a supportive policy and legislative environment
-Supportive policy and legislative environment already exists.
-Legislation for compensation for occupational lung diseases is deficient.

Analysis of requirements from declaration
SADC Declaration Priority Area
What exists Gaps
Strengthening programmatic interventions for TB, HIV, silicosis and other occupational respiratory diseases control
-Programmes exist in companies
-Medical costs related to occupational lung diseases are not well regulated-lack of alignment between workplace wellness services provided to employees, services provided to contractors and health-related community initiatives.

Analysis of requirements from declaration
SADC Declaration Priority Area
What exists Gaps
Strengthening disease surveillance system for TB, HIV, silicosis and other occupational respiratory diseases control
-Industry meets all requirement
![Page 12: Chamber of Mines’ response to the SADC Declaration on TB in the Mines MMPA Conference 30 August 2013 Dr Thuthula Balfour-Kaipa Head: Health Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ed55503460f94be5b58/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Analysis of requirements from declaration
SADC Declaration Priority Area
What exists Gaps
Strengthen programme monitoring and evaluation
- Industry meets most requirements
- There is no monitoring and evaluation of national budgeting, finance and spending on TB, HIV, silicosis and other.

Analysis of requirements from declaration
SADC Declaration Priority Area
What exists Gaps
Strengthening financing of TB, HIV, silicosis and other occupational respiratory disease interventions in the mines
- Companies currently finance interventions on these diseases.
- There are no national partnerships for resource mobilisation to support programmes on these disease.
