FOREWORDThe 2010–2016 Philippine Plan of Action to Control TB or PhilPACT was formulated through a participatory process to serve as the country’s road map in reducing the problem of tuberculosis. It was issued by the Department of Health (DOH) through Administrative Order 2010-0031. Consistent with the then Health Sector Reform Agenda, the plan contains four objectives, eight strategies and 30 performance targets. In his preface to the document, Secretary Enrique T. Ona states that “a sound strategy and a strong partnership between local government units, civil society, technical and financial partners are the keys to the success of the plan.”

Three years had passed since PhilPACT was initiated in 2010 under the leadership of the DOH through the National TB Control Program (NTP). Its monitoring and evaluation framework provides for a stakeholder-participated midterm-evaluation in early 2013. In calling for this assessment, NTP took note of other reasons; (a) the DOH Universal Health Care or Kalusugang Pangkalahatan strategy was formulated and executed after the issuance of PhilPACT in early 2010 and numerous health initiatives had been introduced since then, (b) the World Health Organization (WHO) updated its guidelines on TB diagnosis, treatment and reporting, both for susceptible and multi-drug resistant TB, including the use of rapid TB diagnostic tools, (c) additional resources from international partners had been mobilized for TB control, and (d) a WHO-organized external NTP review was planned in mid-2013, five years after it was last conducted.

The processes of review and subsequent revision of PhilPACT, led by the NTP, started with the consultation with the members of the PhilPACT Steering Committee and the Technical Working Group who advised on the process and format of the updated report. Four sub-plans for 2014–2016 that contain specific challenges and approaches to address them were formulated, namely, (a) laboratory network, (b) PMDT, (c) TB and HIV collaboration, and (d) NTP health system strengthening. A long term NTP consultant assisted NTP in developing the first draft of the updated PhilPACT based on initial assessment that underwent critical review of stakeholders in June 6–7, 2013. This resulted in a revised version a month later. This revised document became the basis for the development of a concept note submitted to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (The Global Fund) in July 2013.

In mid-August, 2013, the 17 Center for Health Development reported on the regional status of PhilPACT implementation. Afterwards, the Joint Program Review (JPR) was conducted from August 26 to September 5, 2013 with 80 individuals from international and local organizations participating. The participants were divided into seven teams. They analyzed documents, interviewed key informants and visited 14 provinces and cities from 8 regions. The results and recommendations of these reviews were then incorporated into the July 2013 version of the PhilPACT. Another round of stakeholder consultation was conducted on October 24–25, 2013. The stakeholders reviewed the consolidated results of the review, the revised targets and activities and the monitoring and evaluation plan. A financing expert led the costing of the updated PhilPACT based on agreed financing assumptions. In December 2013, the NTP conducted a three-day harmonization workshop for technical assistance and research initiatives of different partners. The draft updated plan was revised by the consultant and again reviewed by stakeholders last February 14, 2014 led by NTP who endorsed the finalization of the said plan.

This updated PhilPACT will guide the country as it intensifies its efforts to control TB in 2014–2016. Per the original document, “expected users are policy makers, managers of TB control program at all levels, implementers, local and international partners, and everyone who dreams of and is committed to working towards a TB-free Philippines.”

PREFACEAttaining the Millennium Development Goals in 2015 is one of the three strategic directions of the Universal Health Care. The control of tuberculosis, a major health problem for decades in the country, falls under MDG number 6. This 2010–2016 Philippine Plan of Action to Control Tuberculosis (PhilPACT) succinctly describes the strategies and activities that our country must pursue to control tuberculosis. I am proud to say that based on the estimates of the World Health Organization in its 2013 Global TB Report, the Philippines is one of the seven countries that have achieved the targeted reduction of TB incidence, mortality and prevalence two years prior to 2015. Definitely, this is a result of a multi-stakeholder collaboration based on a clear strategic plan.

Despite this major achievement, the 2013 mid-term review of NTP revealed that a TB patient still faces barriers in seeking TB diagnostic and treatment services. This updated PhilPACT considered all the recommendations to address this problem. It refocused key approaches and activities to expand access to TB care especially to the vulnerable populations such as the poor, indigenous people, children, and victims of disasters. The use of rapid diagnostic tools that detect drug resistance within two hours instead of three months will be scaled up. Intensified case finding strategy will be pursued to promptly detect and treat TB cases, hence, stop the transmission of TB.

We call again on our local and international partners to support the implementation of this updated PhilPACT in 2010–2016 as we accelerate our efforts towards our vision of a TB-free Philippines. Let this be our contribution to our dream of healthy and productive Filipinos.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYTo assess the progress of the 2010–2016 Philippine Plan of Action to Control Tuberculosis (PhilPACT), a mid-term review was conducted in 2013 in coordination with international and local partners. Methodologies include review of documents, analysis of performance of the 17 regions, conduct of the joint program review (JPR) and validation of findings and recommendations with stakeholders. The mid-term review revealed the following; (a) impact targets such as TB prevalence, incidence and mortality has been achieved, (b) outcome target such as treatment success rate (TSR) has been achieved, (c) among the output targets, one has been achieved, two are on track while two are lagging behind; (d) among the 30 performance targets, 50% has been achieved or on track to be achieved, 33% are lagging behind and 17% had incomplete or no data. The JPR noted the significant accomplishments of the program especially in increasing TB notification rate, but noted existing challenges in terms of detecting and treating TB cases and enabling the environment.

For 2010–2016 implementation of the PhilPACT, the strategic thrust will be to (a) find the missing TB cases through expansion of diagnostic facilities and use of rapid diagnostic tests, full engagement of the private providers and hospitals and adoption of intensified case finding especially for the vulnerable populations; (b) expand PMDT facilities to improve access, hence, detect and treat more MDR-TB cases; (c) enhance services for the vulnerable populations who have higher risk of developing TB such as those with TB-HIV co-infection, the poor and children; (d) improve the human resource, logistical and information systems, and (e) strengthen the managerial capacity of all program managers. The four objectives and eight strategies had been retained but there are changes on the impact, outcome and output targets. Among the original 30 performance targets, one was deleted, three were added and 16 were modified.

The following are the strategies and performance targets of the updated 2010–2016 PhilPACT:

Objective Strategy Performance Target

Reduce local variation in TB control program performance

1. Localize implementation of TB control

1.1. Eighty percent (80%) of provinces and highly urbanized cities (HUCs) include TB control plan based on a set criteria within the Province-wide Investment Plan for Health (PIPH) or ARMM Investment Plan for Health (AIPH) or City Investment Plan for Health (CIPH)

1.2. Seventy percent (70%) of provinces and highly urbanized cities (HUCs) are at least DOTS compliant

National TB Control Program | UPDATED 2010–2016 PHILIPPINE PLAN OF ACTION TO CONTROL TUBERCULOSIS 13

Objective Strategy Performance Target

Scale up and sustain coverage of DOTS implementation

3. Engage both public and private health care providers

3.1 At least 50% of all provinces and HUCs have functional province/city-wide referral system

3.2. 90% of public hospitals and 65% of private hospitals are participating in TB control either as DOTS provider or referring center

3.3. Fifteen percent (15%) of notified TB cases contributed by the private providers

3.4. All DOTS facility staff are equipped to deliver TB services

4. Promote and strengthen positive behavior of the communities

4.1. Proportion of TB symptomatics who are self-medicating and not consulting health care providers reduced by 30%

4.2. 95% of provinces and 70% of HUCs with less than 5% lost to follow-up

4.3 At least 10% of all notified TB cases contributed by the CBOs/CHTs/BHWs

5. Address MDR-TB, TB/HIV, and needs of vulnerable population

5.1. A total of 19,500 MDR-TB cases have been detected and provided with quality-assured second-line anti-TB drugs

5.2. At least 75% of MDR-TB patients are successfully treated

5.3. At least 80% of registered TB cases in HIV Category A and B areas and drug resistant cases are provided with HIV counselling and testing

5.4. 730,000 children are initiated with anti-TB treatment or given INH preventive therapy

14 National TB Control Program | UPDATED 2010–2016 PHILIPPINE PLAN OF ACTION TO CONTROL TUBERCULOSIS

Objective Strategy Performance Target

Ensure provision of quality TB services

6. Regulate and make available quality TB diagnostic tests and drugs

6.1. At least 95% of all TB microscopy laboratories within the NTP laboratory network are providing TB diagnostic services within EQA standards

6.2. TB microscopy services are expanded to improve access

6.3. Culture, DST and new technologies are scaled up

6.4. No stock-outs of anti-TB drugs (both FLD and SLD) and laboratory supplies in 90% of DOTS/laboratory facilities in the last six months

7. Certify and accredit TB care providers

7.1 At least 70% of DOTS facilities are DOH/PhilCAT certified and PhilHealth accredited

7.2. DOTS standards/evidence for hospital engagement are included in DOH licensing and PhilHealth accreditation requirements

7.3. Infection control/laboratory biosafety measures in place in all DOTS/PMDT diagnostic & treatment facilities

Reduce out-of-pocket expenses related to TB care

8. Secure adequate funding and improve allocation and efficiency of fund utilization

8.1. Reduced redundancies and gaps by harmonizing financing of TB prevention and control

8.2. National government and PhilHealth funds leveraged to secure LGU commitments

8.3. PhilHealth’s role expanded through greater availability of accredited providers and increased utilization of TB- DOTS package

8.4. Alternative funding models developed

The total cost of the plan had increased by 26% from the original cost of PhP23B to PhP29B. Strategies 5 and 6 account for 70% of the cost. The substantial increase of the budget for Strategy 5 is based on the funding requirements of the recently developed Laboratory Network Strategic Plan that contained activities to scale up rapid diagnostic tools and enhance various health systems. Funding sources are from foreign-assisted projects (44%), national government (23%), local government (19%), out-of-pocket (12%), and PhilHealth (2%). The estimated total funding gap is PhP8.1B.

The Monitoring and Evaluation plan was revised to reflect the changes in the impact, outcome, output and performance targets. The 4th National TB Prevalence Survey (NTPS) will be conducted in 2015 to determine the extent and trend of the TB burden and validate program accomplishments. A terminal evaluation of the PhilPACT will be done in early 2016.

There is no change in the implementing structure which will be through the National Coordinating Committee (NCC) at the national level, the Regional Coordinating Committee (RCC) at the regional level and the Provincial/City Coordinating Committee (P/CCC) at the provincial/city level.

RESULTS OF THE MID-TERM ASSESSMENT OF THE 2010–2016 PhilPACTBelow are the results of the mid-term assessment of PhilPACT done in 2013 and coordinated by NTP. The following methodologies were used: (a) review of documents, (b) key informant interviews, (c) analysis of regional performance, (d) epidemiological assessment, (e) site visits and validation during the joint program review by international and local agencies, and (f) consultation with stakeholders.

IMPACT TARGETS

The MDG Target 6C is to halt and begin to reverse the incidence of TB by 2015. In support of this, STOP TB strategy aims to reduce by 50% TB prevalence and mortality compared to 1990. These had been achieved, as shown in Table 1. According to the WHO 2013 Global TB report, the Philippines is one the seven countries that reached their target three years ahead of 2015. Figure 1 reveals the decreasing trend of the MDG targets.

The graph below shows an increasing performance of the program in terms of the CDR and TSR.

Figure 2. Trend of Outcome Indicators, 2000–2012

An epidemiological review was conducted in May 2013 as part of the JPR and the following observations were made:

“In 2012, there were 216,051 notified TB cases, all forms. Almost half are smear positive (NSP) TB cases. The case detection rate (CDR) of all forms and new smear positive had shown an increasing trend. From 62% in 2000, CDR of NSP had increased to 74% in 2012 while CDR of all forms increased from 48% in 2000 to 82% in 2012. CDR, all forms, had a faster rate of increase in the last three years mainly due to the increase in reported children with TB. Extrapulmonary cases remain low at less than 1.5% which could be attributed to non-participation of hospitals where they consult.”

“Proportion of children with TB among the total notified TB cases ranged from 10% to 40%. This is most likely due to over-diagnosis since there is no confirmatory test among smear negative TB cases. There is a decrease in the smear positivity rate among TB symptomatic examined but overall smear positivity rate is still around 15%. This implies that case finding in general is not yet saturated.”

The Joint Program Review (JPR) also noted that the national TB case notification rate (CNR) has steadily increased. The team stated that “factors contributing to this achievement have been the countrywide

engagement of all health RHU/HC in the DOTS program and engagement of other health care providers, such as public and private hospitals, private practitioners, prisons and jails and several NGOs. At the primary care level, case finding is facilitated by the availability of smear microscopy laboratories in most RHUs/HCs and the use of barangay health workers and community health teams for intensified case finding activities in remote areas.”

However, the CDR, all forms, varied among the 17 regions as shown in Figure 3. It ranges from 46% to 118%. Five regions had achieved or even exceeded the 85% target. The top three performing regions are Regions 6, 5 and NCR.

Figure 3. Case Detection Rate, All Forms, By Region, 2012

The JPR brought to NTP’s attention the following challenges in case finding:• Although case finding has generally increased, a large number of TB cases in the Philippines are

still managed outside the NTP system, and thus remained unreported.• Among the TB patients who reached DOTS facilities, many may not be diagnosed quickly or

accurately. The smear-positivity rate is 15% nationally, with wide variance between LGUs and smear positivity rates of over 30% being common. High smear positivity may reflect a lack of awareness of TB symptoms or willingness to refer for TB diagnosis. TB symptoms may not be elicited among patients consulting the RHU for other illnesses.

• There is low proportion of extra pulmonary cases, and large variations in the proportion of children among detected TB cases. There was concurrent over-diagnosis of children in some regions and under-diagnosis of children in others, raising concerns about the adequate implementation of NTP diagnostic algorithms for children.

• Apart from insufficient reporting of diagnosed cases, many cases still remain undiagnosed due to persistent barriers to care. The NTP has not yet implemented systematic efforts to undertake active case finding to address the needs of vulnerable populations, particularly those living in remote areas. Stigma remains high in many areas of the country, and this situation is aggravated by the general lack of adequate IEC material, both in terms of information on TB for the general population, as well as in terms of specific information on treatment procedures for detected cases. The national policy on contact tracing is frequently not implemented.

Treatment outcome is generally good with treatment success rate (TSR) of more than 85% since year 2000, the latest (2011 cohort) being 91% as shown in Figure 4. Cure rate was 83%. However, there is variation among regions, provinces and cities. Default rate of more than 5% is registered by ARMM (11%), MIMAROPA (6%) and Davao (6%).

Figure 4. Treatment Outcome of 2011 New Smear Positive Cohort

JPR observed that the “countrywide implementation of the DOTS strategy has resulted in generally high TSRs, exceeding 90% in most areas. As part of the DOTS strategy, drugs are available to all patients free of charge. A majority of the staff at the RHU level have been trained in the DOTS strategy. The NTP guidelines regarding case classifications, drug regimens, follow-up examinations and treatment outcome determination are generally followed in all RHUs. The decentralization of treatment services to the community level ensures that all patients are assisted by treatment supporters.”

The main challenge in case holding observed by the JPR is “while NTP guidelines on DOT are generally followed, resulting in high TSRs, supervision of treatment supporters is insufficient in some areas, increasing the risk of default or the creation of drug resistance through irregular treatment.”

The following are the observations/conclusions regarding TB epidemiology in the country: 1. Impact of NTP on trend of mortality

Assuming TB mortality data is comparable over time, it is observed that while TB CNR is increasing recently, TB deaths are decreasing. Decrease in TB deaths seems to be faster recently with increase in TB CNR. This may suggest that expanding quality DOTS has impact on the reduction of TB mortality. Although there might be several factors for mortality trend. Further analysis is needed such as by region, age group and sex for better understanding of the situation.

2. Impact of NTP on prevalence Prevalence of both smear positive and culture positive TB cases decreased between 1997 and

2007. Not only case finding but also good treatment might reduce prevalence of bacteriologically positive TB.

3. Impact of NTP on incidence Source of infection in community has decreased because prevalence of bacteriologically-positive

cases decreased. This might contribute to reduction of TB incidence which comes from recent infection. Overall impact needs further assessment.

4. HIV Further information is required for non-NCR target areas. Prevalence of HIV among the examined

in NCR is low. According to treatment outcome, impact of HIV is still not significant because death rate is not high in TB-HIV target areas. Because HIV may increase, monitoring the situation of co-infection need to be strengthened.

OUTPUT TARGETS

Of the five major outputs in terms of beneficiaries, three are on track to be achieved.

Table 3. Status of Output Targets

Indicators Targets Achievement (2010-2012) Status

No. of presumptive TB to be provided with DSSM 5 million 1,790,000 (36%) On track to be achieved

No. of TB patients to be provided with treatment 1 million 579,383 (58%) On track to be achieved

No. of children to be provided with treatment or preventive therapy

750,000 87,936 (12%) Not on track

No. of MDR-TB detected and provided with second line anti-TB drugs

15,000 3,367 (22%) Not on track

No. of TB patient provided with PICT 15,000 8,623 (57%) tested On track to be achieved

The target for children is disappointingly low due to the (a) erratic and limited compliance to the initiative of providing INH chemoprophylaxis to prevent children from developing fatal forms of TB and (b) weak implementation of case finding activities among children in some areas.

1.5. Public-private coordinating body on TB control at national, regional and provincial levels established and sustained to include CUP mechanisms

Revised AO issued on reconstitution of members and changes in functions of NCC and RCC

National CUP group meeting conducted quarterly

Two regions with reconstituted RCC

60 provinces with established provincial coordinating committee (PCC) or multi-sectoral alliance (MSA)

Not on track

Achievements• DOTS compliance assessment tool (DCAT) was developed and used in the assessment of provinces

and cities.• Strong involvement, leadership and technical capability of the NTP central office.• The technical capacity of staff across the NTP was consistently excellent. The achievements of the

NTP, particularly given the small number of TB-dedicated staff, are noteworthy and reflect high levels of staff commitment and innovation.

• TB team in all regions established with members capacitated in implementing the TB control program.

• Partners are providing technical assistance to local government units.• Local structures (Private-public coordinating bodies, TB councils, PCC, MSA) have been established

and are functioning in some areas.

Challenges• The quality of TB control plan in PIPH/CIPH had not yet been reviewed and evaluated. • The performance based grants for LGUs had not been implemented yet.• Variations in the technical and managerial capability of the regional, provincial and city TB teams

in terms of performance, level of understanding and execution of feedback. Number of staff has been reduced as a result of the rationalization plan at the regional level

2.3. TB information system integrated with the national M&E and Field Health Information System

Integrated TB Information System (ITIS) developed by DOH-KMITS. Training done in NCR and Region 3 but no preliminary reports generated yet

Some TB indicators included in the FHSIS and LGU/RO scorecard

On track to be achieved

Accomplishments• Presence of standardized and functional NTP recording and reporting tools.• Presence of a functional FHSIS and ongoing development of the integrated TB information system

or ITIS.• Development of a national TB M&E framework. Different regions conduct NTP data review with

the participation of the implementing units.• Presence and continuous expansion of other DOH information systems such as national online

stock inventory reporting system (NOSIRS), the hospital information system (HOMIS) and Clinic Information System (iClinicSys).

• A system for regular monitoring and evaluation activities at the regional, provincial and municipal levels.

• A National Unified Health Research Agenda (NUHRA) was produced by the Research Agenda Committee (RAC) of the Philippine National Health Research System (PNHRS) for 2011-2016. TB is a focus health program in NUHRA.

• The Philippines is internationally visible for its TB research.

Challenges• Delays in the submission and inaccuracy of some NTP reports at the provincial and regional levels.

The recording and reporting system on susceptible and drug-resistant TB and even between NTP and its projects are not harmonized and integrated. TB laboratory and clinical data are not linked.

• ITIS does not yet seem ready for countrywide roll-out because of problems with the design, and lack of infrastructure in many RHUs/HCs to effectively utilize electronic systems. There are redundancies between the ITIS and the existing FHSIS. These information systems do not capture TB data from all private sector and hospitals.

• There are severe problems with the NTP supervision, monitoring and evaluation system: irregular supervision at the RHU level, PIR’s are not used to analyze program performance and to develop specific strategies towards improvement, and there appear to be insufficient program management capability at the regional and provincial levels. Data and information are not routinely used for immediate decision making and planning.

• Capacity for operational research within the NTP is still limited, especially at regional level.

STRATEGY 3: Engage Both Public and Private Health Care Providers

Table 6. Status of Performance Target Under Strategy 3

Performance Target Status as of End of 2012 Remarks

3.2. 90% of public hospitals and 65% of private hospitals are participating in TB control either as DOTS provider or referring center

171 of 657 targeted public hospitals (26%)

157 of 649 targeted private hospitals (24%)Not on track

3.3. 70% of targeted 9,000 private practitioners are referring patients to DOTS facilities

8,513 PPs are referring (135%) Achieved

3.4. All frontline health workers are equipped to deliver TB services

IMPACT assessment of health workers in selected sites revealed that less than 90% had been trained on DOTS.

On track to be achieved

Achievements• There are 16 established RCCs (public and private) working with the regional TB Team nationwide.

There are also 44 PCCs established but need to be further strengthened and mobilized.• Capacity and commitment for TB control exist throughout the DOTS network. NTP has worked

around the staff shortages by engaging project-based or other contract staff at the central and regional levels, and casual workers at RHU levels.

• The Philippines has been a world leader in the establishment of public private mix (PPM), and has acted as a model for countries in the Western Pacific region and beyond. There are currently 220 operational PPMD units supporting the NTP nationwide. Public hospitals and private practitioners contributed 11% to cases notified in 2012. The variety of models, flexibility in implementation, use of awards to high performing units, and sustained engagement by project staff were identified as critical to the success of the existing PPM efforts.

• Pilot projects have demonstrated the willingness of selected pharmacies to refer presumptive TB to public DOTS sites.

Challenges• There are not enough DOH/LGU staff to perform all of the functions of the TB control program.

The quality of service delivery commonly suffers, as functions such as supervision, TA provision, and supportive monitoring do not routinely occur due to staff shortages. Utilizing project staff and casual workers may not be a sustainable strategy as these positions end when funding ends.

• In the pharmacy sector, a great deal of work remains given the widespread availability of TB drugs without a prescription.

• PPMD associated activities (physician education sessions on ISTC, awards, and outreach to referring physicians) have mostly ceased with the end of project funding, and the number of physicians referring to some PPMD units has dropped by up to 70%.

• The rapid scale-up plan for hospital DOTS is resulting in all activities being devoted to the launches for new sites, with little or no staffing available for the technical assistance provision and supportive monitoring and supervision needed to establish behavior change. Patients referred by the private sector are subjected to diagnostic delays and this becomes a disincentive for the private referring unit.

• PhilHealth is not viewed as a significant source of financial support for sustaining PPM activities. Most of the time, private physicians who refer to these public PPMD units were not compensated for their referral.

• Provincial coordinating committees reportedly did many of the physician mapping activities requested of them, but then, there was limited follow-up or monitoring.

STRATEGY 4: Promote and Strengthen Positive Behavior of Communities

Table 7. Status of Performance Target Under Strategy 4

Performance Target Status as of End of 2012 Remarks

4.1. Proportion of presumptive TB who are self-medicating and not consulting health care providers reduced by 30%

To be determined during the 2017 National TB Prevalence Survey No data

4.2. Default rate of provinces and cities with ≥ 7% reduced by 40%

Identified provinces with high lost to follow-up rate rate has been reduced. Achieved

4.3 No. of barangays that have community based organizations (CBOs) participating in TB control that are linked with DOTS facilities increased by 50%

2,974 of the targeted 1,216 (244%) Achieved

Achievements• Development of a planning framework for advocacy, communication, and social mobilization

(ACSM) in 2010 to include a national communication sub-plan covering 2013-2016, that focuses on the development and dissemination of messages that promote behavior change. In line with this strategy, a mass media campaign has been launched using television and radio channels.

• Funding for ACSM activities has been secured from the government, The Global Fund, and foreign assistance projects.

• Engagement of multi-sectoral alliances (MSAs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) contribute to improved case finding and case holding.

• Creation of TB task forces, TB councils and community groups have increased awareness on TB and addressed stigma in the community.

Challenges• Stigma, lack of proximity to a health center and treatment partner, and the perceived high cost

of TB care remain barriers to timely healthcare seeking, treatment initiation and treatment completion. Misinformation and misconceptions with the causes of TB (e.g., sharing utensils, strenuous physical activity, alcohol consumption) and shame associated with diagnosis among TB patients are contributory to delays in care seeking.

• Access to information about TB services in remote, urban, and hard-to-reach areas remains limited.

• The ACSM strategy and sub-plan has not yet been widely distributed throughout the country. Wide variation in implementing various ACSM activities as shown by the lack of information, education and communication materials in many facilities.

• Monitoring and evaluation of the impact of ongoing ACSM activities have been limited.• Limited LGU support to the organized CBOs to substantially contribute to case finding and case

holding.• Multi-sectoral alliances have been formed but do not function adequately to contribute to the

overall goals of the TB program.

Achieved

5.4. DOTS services accessible to all inmates with TB

Jails and prisons implementing TB program covering 54% of targeted inmates

On track to be achieved

5.5. Policies, operational guidelines and models developed, disseminated and locally adopted to address needs of vulnerable populations

Guidelines for the urban poor drafted

Profiling of vulnerable groups ongoing Not on track

AchievementsPMDT

• In 2010, a new coordination team for PMDT was established by NTP/DOH with the Lung Center of the Philippines (LCP) as the implementing arm. Currently, there are 3 organic staff and 15 contractual staff working in the PMDT program management office (PMO) housed in LCP.

• There are 3 DST and 18 culture centers nationwide.• Three laboratories—National TB Reference Laboratory (NTRL) of the Research Institute of Tropical

Medicine (RITM), LCP, and the Cebu TB Regional Reference Laboratory (CTRL)—have passed proficiency testing for performing drug susceptibility testing (DST) for PMDT.

• A total of 23 Xpert machines have been rolled out in 12 out of 17 regions for rapid detection of rifampicin resistance.

• Twenty PMDT Treatment Centers (TCs) and 24 Satellite Treatment Centers (STCs) have been established, covering 16 regions and about 1,000 RHUs have been trained as treatment sites for the decentralization of PMDT.

• The annual number of drug-resistant cases initiated on treatment under PMDT has quadrupled from 538 in 2009, to 2,056 in 2011.

• Patients suspected to be at high-risk for drug-resistant TB are identified at DOTS facilities and referred to PMDT TC/STC for screening and testing. An MDR-TB Suspect Referral Form was developed for referral of patients to TC/STC as well as the Acknowledgement Form for confirmation of patients’ arrival at TC/STC.

• A PMDT sub-plan under PhilPACT has been developed, highlighting the challenges of PMDT and outlining the direction of full integration of PMDT services into DOTS facilities and further expansion of PMDT with an increased target of cases for enrollment.

TB HIV • HIV patients are tested for TB in the HIV treatment hubs. • Testing of TB patients for HIV has started in the high HIV prevalence areas, particularly in NCR. • The NTP has procured isoniazid for adults and it has been supplied to the HIV program. It also

bought HIV testing kits and distributed them to DOTS facilities in category A sites.

National TB Control Program | UPDATED 2010–2016 PHILIPPINE PLAN OF ACTION TO CONTROL TUBERCULOSIS 25

Vulnerable populations (children, prisoners, poor)• Various approaches to reaching marginalized populations have been launched through the assistance

of GFATM, USAID, WHO/CIDA, ICRC, World Vision, KOFIH/KOICA and RIT/JATA. These include: (1) engagement of TB task forces and barangay TB management councils; (2) involvement of BHWs, CHTs, CBOs, FBOs and NGOs; and (3) recruitment and training of sputum collectors from remote areas to increase access to diagnostic services.

• In 2012, a prevalence survey of TB in prisons and jails was conducted which showed four to five times higher prevalence of bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary TB compared to the general population.

• Implementation of tuberculosis control in jails and prisons started in 7 pilot sites in 2009. To date, 117 (25%) out of 459 jails and 4 (57%) out of 7 prisons have been implementing DOTS, covering 54% of inmates in jails, and 83% of inmates in prisons.

• The number of inmates with tuberculosis reported to NTP increased from 135 in 2008 to 815 in 2010.

• In May 2013, the NBP was established as a PMDT satellite treatment center with access to Xpert.

Challenges PMDT

• In 2011, PMDT screened 40% of all re-treatment cases and 1% of the new cases versus the 100% target for re-treatment and 20% for new cases. Low screening is attributed to lack of access to screening sites, policy limitation on who are eligible for MDRTB screening, low number of referrals coming from the peripheral health facilities, and patient’s poor health-seeking behavior.

• A very high proportion of M. tuberculosis negative Xpert results in the Philippines likely indicated that a substantial proportion of patients who had Xpert test were both smear negative and culture negative.

• Advice provided by regional consilium may not have been appropriate due to poor communication between central and regional consilium.

• Initial default rate is high at 26% (2011) which is due to poor access to treatment facility, patient’s lack of willingness to start treatment, inadequate manpower to track and verify patients, and inappropriate health care worker attitude.

• The proportion of patients with successful treatment decreased from 73% in the 2005 cohort to 56% in the 2009 cohort; the proportion of lost-to-follow-up cases increased from 13% to 33%.

• The two-way referral system is weak. The linkages between DOTS facilities and PMDT TC/STC are insufficient to monitor and evaluate patient referral, diagnosis, and management of PMDT.

• Limited number of Drug Susceptibility Testing centers that will ensure national coverage.• Due to human resource constraints, supervision was not regularly conducted.

HIV• Although the National AIDS/STI Prevention and Control Program (NASPCP) collects data on TB among

people living with HIV (PLHIV), this information is not routinely shared among care providers due to confidentiality issues.

• NTP policies and guidelines were not followed in the provision of TB services among PLHIV. IPT was not implemented, referral mechanism for TB and HIV services is not effective, limited access to HIV services that is centralized in urban areas and inadequate logistics.

• IPT for HIV+/TB- patients is not yet widely provided as health workers await the publication of operational guidelines on IPT.

• Fast turnover of staff, especially medical technologists, providing HIV testing and recording and reporting system was not yet functional.

Vulnerable Populations• Experiences from pilot project such as the urban poor had not been translated into national policy

and guidelines, hence, initiatives are not yet expanded to other areas.• Of the jails and prisons that are implementing DOTS, coordination and supervision are weak. Funding

for TB diagnostic activities and medications was limited and insufficient. Generally, there was no TB microscopy or X-ray in the prison/jail, and diagnosis had to take place in the civilian sector. Therefore, many jails/prisons have limited access to smear microscopy and chest radiography.

• No systematic initiatives had been implemented and documented to respond to the needs of other vulnerable, high risk populations such as the malnourished, diabetics, smokers, indigenous population, internally displaced population, etc.

Not on track

AchievementsDiagnostics

• The laboratory network strategic plan (LNSP) , a sub-plan of PhilPACT, was recently developed by NTRL and NTP to strengthen laboratory management systems and services.

• A network of sputum microscopy laboratories has been established across the country that is integrated within the primary care health services. Remote smearing stations (RSS) have also been established in some localities to increase access to microscopy services for people living in geographically inaccessible areas. A quality assurance system for sputum microscopy is in place and implemented by provincial/city NTP laboratory.

• There has been an adequate supply of stains, microscopy and laboratory supplies needed for the TB program.

• Specialized diagnostic services prioritized for drug-resistant TB cases, including culture/DST and Xpert MTB/RIF, have been made available in 16 culture laboratories and 4 hospital laboratories. Line Probe Assay (LPA) is currently operational at the NTRL. Chest X-ray is widely used at the local level to support the diagnostic process for detecting smear negative TB cases.

• Staff at all levels of the NTP laboratory network are trained including informal laboratory workers that complement medical technologists in the microscopy services.

• Funding from national and local governments has increased to support the expansion of microscopy services. Funds from The Global Fund have been leveraged by the NTP to finance the specialized diagnostic services (i.e., culture, DST, Xpert MTB/RIF, LPA) including laboratory infrastructure, human resources, and operations.

Page 27: Updated 2010-2016 Philippine Plan of Action to Control Tuberculosis

National TB Control Program | UPDATED 2010–2016 PHILIPPINE PLAN OF ACTION TO CONTROL TUBERCULOSIS 27

Drug Management• First Line anti-TB Drugs (FLD), needed to adhere to the WHO recommended regimens for adult

first line treatment, are provided as Fixed Dose Combinations (FDC), and are supplied as patient kits that contain a full course of treatment.

• The FLD for children are provided as kits consisting of R, H and Z suspensions. • Government is financing the procurement of these adult and pediatric FLD as well as basic

laboratory stains and reagents. The prices paid by DOH Central Office Bids and Awards Committee (COBAC) for the adult FLD compare well with international references.

• The regimens used in the PMDT program are based on 18 month treatment and have been standardized and aligned with WHO recommendations. Second Line anti-TB Drugs (SLD) and Xpert cartridges are entirely financed with Global Fund grants. SLDs are distributed quarterly from the Materials Management Division (MMD) warehouse.

• COBAC’s quality assurance measures include that products must have cGMP, FDA Certificate of Product Registration and a License to operate. The Food and Drug Authority (FDA) impresses as well-organized and is capable of analyzing TB formulations in its ISO 17025 accredited QC laboratory. The FDA gets support from USP PQM to strengthen the quality monitoring of medicines with a distinct focus on TB medicines.

• In 2012, FDA detected substandard FDC in Category II kits procured by COBAC from a local manufacturer. This was handled professionally and resulted in the recall of the concerned batches.

• The distribution of FLD, SLD, and laboratory supplies has been outsourced and this arrangement is working out well.

• The SIAPS project has assessed the current pharmacovigilance systems in the country in 2012. ChallengesDiagnostics

• Access to TB diagnostic services, including specialized diagnostics, is still limited especially for vulnerable groups including residents of urban poor settlements, rural poor in geographically inaccessible areas, people in congregate settings and highly vulnerable populations such as children, elderly, and the immune-compromised (e.g. PLHIV).

• Issues related to smear/staining quality were observed in some peripheral laboratories. Standardized staining protocols are not available at the peripheral level resulting in variable practices that impact on overall smear quality and results. A related finding is that the quality assurance system for smear microscopy is not yet fully functional. Factors such as staff shortages, weak supervisory skills, and inadequate logistical support, hinder the local government QA teams’ capacity to effectively implement external quality assessment and supervision of peripheral laboratories. These factors result in long delays in the slide rechecking process and feedback. In addition, quality improvement is not given emphasis in the system.

• Not all facilities for culture/DST are functional (16 out of the target 29) at this time. Specimen transport time takes several days in some areas. Transmittal of results also takes a long time which prolongs overall turnaround time; thus, reducing the potential benefit of new rapid tests.

• There is no standard checklist to monitor the implementation of Xpert MTB/RIF. In addition, significant module failures were observed during the Xpert MTB/RIF calibration process.

• The NTP laboratory network sub-plan or strategic plan is not yet implemented at this time. The role and future direction of specialized diagnostics in the NTP, particularly Xpert MTB/RIF and LPA, need to be further clarified.

• Policies and guidelines on quality assurance, certification, and accreditation, regarding the use of specialized diagnostics also need to be developed or updated.

• Financing of the specialized laboratory services is heavily dependent on The Global Fund support with no alternative and sustainable financing mechanism in place when The Global Fund support ends.

• Laboratory biosafety is not adequately implemented.• Staff shortages have been observed at all levels of the laboratory network. A large proportion of

technical laboratory staff are contractual employees hired under GFATM. However, some policies prevent the hiring of organic staff at national and local level to fill the gaps.

• There is no standard laboratory data management system for the NTP at this time.• Chest X-rays are widely used by the health services in support of the diagnostic process, particularly

for diagnosis of smear negative TB. However, chest X-ray quality issues are quite prevalent. The role of radiology in the NTP diagnostic process needs to be redefined in the presence of new diagnostic technologies.

Page 28: Updated 2010-2016 Philippine Plan of Action to Control Tuberculosis

28 National TB Control Program | UPDATED 2010–2016 PHILIPPINE PLAN OF ACTION TO CONTROL TUBERCULOSIS

Drug Management• Frequent stock outs of adult and pediatric FLD, and PPD. During the JPR visits, there were neither

Category I/III, nor Category II kits at central level. Category I/III were still in stock on most facilities but Category II kits had been out of stock for more than a year across the country. Most facilities were also out of stock of pediatric kits and PPD. Patients are commonly referred to private pharmacies to buy these medicines out of pocket. Reasons are:

i. Procurement challenges In 2012, locally manufactured Category II kits were found to contain substandard FDC and had to

be recalled resulting in a yearlong stock out. The current contract holder for Category II kits cannot supply due to non-availability of a source

for Streptomycin. Suppliers are not interested to supply NTP with single drug formulations as volumes are too small. The latest PPD procurement failed as no supplier can supply the requested 18-month shelf life.

ii. Lack of coordination between central and LGU procurement The program sends a mixed message to the LGUs. On one hand, there is the assurance that TB

medicines will be procured centrally. On the other hand, LGUs are expected to procure the single dose formulations themselves and should undertake contingency procurement when needed to prevent stockout of other TB medicines. The supply by Central Government and augmentation by various LGU levels results in an uncoordinated and fragmented procurement scenario that has repeatedly resulted in both excesses and stock outs as there was no clarity as to which was going to be procured by whom.

iii. Lack of systematic forecasting (tool) for FLD NTP lacks a systematic approach or tool to forecast the national needs of FLD in a consistent and

rational manners partly due to the absence of a reporting mechanism. MMD is currently piloting NOSIRS (National Online Stock Inventory Reporting System) that would

provide instant overview of all stock in public health facilities in the country. It is aimed to have all regions report all drug stock details via NOSIRS by end of 2013 and all provinces by end of 2014. So far however, only some products are being entered in some regions and this does not include any TB medicines. It is unlikely that NTP will obtain reliable data from NOSIRS in the near future.

iv. Insufficient national FLD Safety stocks The Philippines has not been maintaining significant levels of safety stock and this is one reason

why the country experiences regular large scale stock outs of some FLD. During the JPR there was a nationwide stock out of Category II kits, as well as considerable shortages of pediatric TB medicines and PPD. Category I/III kits were also out of stock at the central level.

Insufficient storage space at LMD central warehouse. The space available in the warehouse does not allow for separation of batches, easy adherence to First Expiry First Out, efficient stock counting. Deliveries from suppliers have to be denied or delayed due to lack of warehouse space.

The drug storage conditions at ROs, provinces and sites are generally okay but some inadequacies in storage conditions and practices have been observed at individual locations.

There is no standard system regarding FLD drug reporting and requisition. In many cases, this implies a push system of FLD drug distribution.

Uncontrolled availability of TB medicines in the private sector. A 2013 study by WHO WPRO office into market characteristics for TB drugs in the Philippines found that while publicly procured TB drugs were sufficient to treat all reported new TB cases from 2007 to 2011 the volume of TB drugs that was channeled through this private market suffices to treat an additional 250,000 TB patients annually.

SLD funding entirely dependent on The Global Fund and is expected to end in three years’ time. Reports on Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) usually do not reach beyond facility level. For SLD, side-

effects are reported to LCP but there is no procedure to flag severe ADRs that need to be reported to FDA.

STRATEGY 7: Certify and Accredit TB Care Providers

Table 10. Status of Performance Target Under Strategy 7.

Performance Target Status as of End of 2012 Remarks

7.1. At least 70% of DOTS facilities are DOH/PhilCAT-certified and PhilHealth-accredited

56% (1,236/2,187) DOTS facilities are certified and accredited

On track to be achieved

7.2. Standards for hospital participation in TB control included in DOH licensing and PhilHealth accreditation requirements

DOTS standards included in PhilHealth benchbook On track to be achieved

7.3. Infection control measures in place in all treatment centers/sites and DOTS centers

Infection control guidelines developed and TOT conducted. Training rolled-out in NCR.

Repaired or upgraded DOTS facilities considered infection control guidelines but quantity unknown.

Not on track

Achievements• PhilHealth claims and reimbursement for outpatient TB have been increasing since 2008. The JPR

teams saw numerous good practices in utilizing PhilHealth reimbursement as a sustainable source of funding for operations and directly or indirectly benefiting the health workers.

• PhilHealth streamlined its accreditation policies such that certified TB DOTS facilities are automatically accredited.

• Guidelines on infection control (IC) for tuberculosis were published in 2011. Training of trainers targeting regional NTP staff was conducted in 2011 by the NTP central office. In NCR, staff at city/municipality were trained in 2012 and all (465) DOTS facilities in May 2013.

Challenges• Lack of physicians constrains many facilities to meet requirements for certification and

accreditation. • TB IC remains a highly neglected issue in the Philippines. The NTP manager, who has too much

responsibility, is also the national focal person of TB IC. There is no national sub-plan or TB IC committee to implement the 2011 policy. After the national training of trainers conducted in 2011, 16 of 17 regions have not yet conducted training to roll out TB IC. In several health care facilities visited, natural ventilation was inadequate, with a high risk of transmission. In a city health office visited by the PMDT monitoring team, DOTS area was placed next to a waiting area of little children, imposing a high risk of infecting this vulnerable group. In most facilities, symptomatic patients were not provided with masks.

• Despite the increasing reimbursement, PhilHealth’s contribution to TB control remains minimal. There is a huge disparity between number of claims filed and number of cases treated in government facilities. Reasons are: (1) sharing of the reimbursement does not adequately (or in any way benefit the health worker who must file the claim, and (2) difficulty in confirming PhilHealth eligibility of patients.

• Patient eligibility/enrollment in PhilHealth cannot be easily confirmed. As a matter of national policy and in-line with WHO recommendations, TB diagnosis and treatment is free through government facilities, regardless of PhilHealth eligibility. Although this is a good national policy, this results in limited motivation by TB patients to confirm their PhilHealth enrollment, or to document their eligibility. Therefore, the burden of documenting PhilHealth eligibility falls on the provider.

STRATEGY 8: Secure Adequate Funding and Improve Allocation and Efficiency of Fund Utilization

Table 11. Status of Performance Target Under Strategy 8

Performance Target Status as of End of 2012 Remarks

8.1. Reduced redundancies and gaps by harmonized financing of TB prevention and control

Harmonized project activities/TA plan developed

Harmonization of activities done during TB TWG meetings

On track to be achieved

8.2. National government funds leveraged to secure LGU and PhilHealth commitments

NTP drugs and laboratory supplies used to leverage with LGUs for manpower counterpart

Performance-based grant not yet implemented

Unknown number of LGUs with budget for TB control

Not on track

8.3. PhilHealth’s role expanded through greater availability of accredited providers and increased utilization of TB-DOTS package

Increased number of PhilHealth accredited providers to 57%

Amount reimbursed increasing

Advocacy for MDR-TB package ongoing

Revision of the current package: include re-treatment and allowing health providers to share from re-imbursement proposed

On track to be achieved

Achievements• Political commitment to TB control is strong. This is visible through the sustained and increasing

budget from the DOH for TB control. • NTP has successfully integrated TB-related indicators and supportive policies within the agendas

of other sectors. For example, the National Economic and Development Agency (NEDA) actively monitors TB among the indicators that measure progress toward development at LGU and national levels. Labor policies and systems ensure the protection of TB patients from unlawful termination. The Department of Justice is increasingly connected to the DOTS network. The involvement of the private sector in TB control is increasing. The multi-sectoral engagement in TB control provides a strong foundation for a sustainable program.

• NTP collaborates with different foreign assistance projects (FAPs). These are the (a) USAID-funded projects namely, the Innovation and Multi-sectoral Partnership to Control TB (IMPACT), System Improvement for Access to Pharmaceutical Products and Services (SIAPS), TA Support to Country (TASC) and PSQM, (b)the Global Fund Against AIDS, TB and Malaria (Global Fund) through the principal recipient (PR), Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), (c) the RIT/JATA , (d) the DETEC TB project, funded by the Korean Foundation for International Health (KOFIH) and (e) the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) .

• The coordination of government and external funding sources is well managed at central level, and is emerging at provincial level through the use of PIPHs.

• As of 2012, 84% of the population was enrolled in PhilHealth. Under UHC, all indigents should have PhilHealth coverage.

Challenges• There remains large inter-regional variation in terms of the level of commitment to TB demonstrated

through budget support, and reflected by program performance.

The key challenges for NTP for 2014–2016 are as follow:

1. There still are many missing TB cases due to the following:a. Lack of access to quality assured TB diagnostic servicesb. Limited involvement of non-NTP care providersc. Persisting stigma on TBd. Passive case finding

2. Low number of detected and enrolled MDR-TB cases with high defaulter rate 3. Weak TB HIV collaboration especially at the service delivery level. Geographic coverage is still limited 4. Slow development and implementation of initiatives to increase access to TB services by the

marginalized/vulnerable groups 5. Weak health system

5.1. Weak logistics and information management systems5.2. Variable capacity in TB control program management by TB teams at all levels5.3. Lack of manpower at the service delivery levels

6. Other funding sources/models not yet maximized

THRUSTS, OBJECTIVES, AND STRATEGIES FOR 2010–2016THRUSTS FOR 2014–2016

The cross-cutting strategic thrust in the last three years of the plan will focus on key areas that will accelerate and scale-up implementation of interventions that will have major impact on TB prevalence and mortality. These are:1. Intensification of DOTS implementation to promptly detect and treat more TB cases to reduce

deaths and transmission and prevent MDR-TB through:1.0.1. Conduct of intensified case finding among the high risk groups where TB prevalence is

high and where patients face barriers such as the poor and other vulnerable groups.1.0.2. Full engagement of health facilities and providers where majority of the TB cases consult

such as the hospitals, both public and private and private providers. 1.0.3. Establishment of more quality-assured TB laboratories and rolling-out of rapid diagnostic

tests to improve access and reduce delay in the diagnosis and initiation of treatment. This requires providing logistical support such as microscopes to the newly engaged TB laboratories, scaling-up of the Xpert MTB/RIF, strengthening the quality assurance system, enhancing the support systems and organizational development of NTRL.

1.0.4. Development of effective communication strategies and tools.2. Expansion and strengthening of service delivery points to detect more MDR-TB cases and

improve treatment compliance through integration of PMDT services into the DOTS facilities, building capability of health care providers, empowerment of patients and support groups and enhancement of support systems.

3. Strengthening TB-HIV collaboration at all levels especially at the service delivery points through geographic expansion to Category A and B areas, enhancement of policy environment, expansion of service delivery points and strengthening of the referral and other support systems.

4. Enhancement of key health systems to ensure that TB diagnostic and treatment services are always available. This implies improving the logistic management system and information system including monitoring and evaluation system. Interventions to improve the former include capability-building of both TB teams and supply officers and establishment of early warning system. For information management, the key approach is to scale-up ITIS nationwide and link it to the other DOH information systems.

5. Enhancing the managerial capacity of TB teams at various levels to ensure that service delivery points are providing TB care in accordance with national policies. Key approaches include outsourcing the training on program management, enhancing collaboration of NTP with other DOH offices and tapping NGOs to implement other management tasks.

There are no changes in the objectives and strategies of PhilPACT as shown below:

Performance TargetsFor 2014–2016 PhilPACT implementation, some of the performance targets have been dropped, partly modified or substantially changed as show in the table below. New activities were also introduced. The status of the performance targets are as follows:

New performance targets 3Deleted 1Revised 16No change 13 Total performance targets for 2016 32

Table 15. Performance Targets and New Activities

Strategy and Updated Performance Targets Changes in the Performance Targets and Activities for 2014–2016

Strategy 1: Localize TB Implementation of TB control

1.1. Eighty percent (80%) of provinces and highly urbanized cities (HUCs) include TB control plan based on a set criteria within the Province-wide Investment Plan for Health (PIPH) or ARMM Investment Plan for Health (AIPH) or City Investment Plan for Health (CIPH)*

Increased target from 70% to 80%No new activities

1.2. Seventy percent (70%) of provinces/highly urbanized cities are at least DOTS compliant

Target retainedNew activity is the training of the local chief executives on health and governance to enable them to support TB control program.

1.3. Ninety percent (90%) of provinces and HUCs given performance based grants (PBGs) have achieved and sustained program targets (CDR and TSR)*

Added “sustained” to targetPBG guidelines were not formulated earlier, hence, this was reset to 2014. At the local level, additional activity includes supporting those who will apply for the PBG.

1.4. At least 70% of national, regional, provincial, and HUC teams have been trained and supported to manage TB control program*

The performance target had been broadened from enhancing skills in TA provision by the program managers at all levels to enhancing their overall TB control program management skills to include clinical, programmatic and laboratory matters. It includes also information, logistics, and financial management among so many topics. A training institution will be engaged to develop the training program after a situational assessment and later assist the ROs in rolling this out to the provinces and cities. Local and international exchange programs will be pursued. An organizational development (OD) plan for NTP and CHDs will also be formulated and implemented. This includes strengthening collaboration of NTP with other DOH offices. Due to human resource constraints at the national and regional level, some managerial tasks such as project management, training, research and logistics will be outsourceds.

1.5. All PP coordinating bodies at the national and regional and 70% at the provincial and HUC levels have been established and sustained to include CUP mechanisms

Target retainedNo new activities

Strategy and Updated Performance Targets Changes in the Performance Targets and Activities for 2014–2016

Strategy 2: Monitor Health System Performance

2.1. Trend of TB burden tracked

Target retained

Due to unavailability of complete data to do the national TB mortality survey, a sub-national survey will be conducted per advise of a WHO consultant. LGUs will be assisted in improving its skills to validate TB deaths. Per consultation with the stakeholders, the national TB prevalence survey will be reset from 2014 to 2015. Preparatory activities will be done in 2014.

2.2. TB information generated on time, analyzed, and used

Target retained

All M&E activities and research activities on TB are placed under this performance target. The development and nationwide implementation of the integrated TB information system (ITIS) will be done in phases. This will be based on the revised recording and reporting system under the MOP 5th edition. Reports will be shared with key stakeholders to help ensure the use of information for planning and decision making.

2.3. TB information system integrated with the DOH Unified Health Management Information System (UHMIS)*

The target was revised to integrate the TB information system not only to FHSIS but also with other DOH health management information systems.

A critical activity strongly recommended during the JPR is the advocacy to DOH management to re-include TB in its list of notifiable diseases. This will improve the TB case notification since private sector and hospitals will report their TB cases. The ITIS will be integrated into the existing and planned DOH health management information system such as the Clinic Information System (iClinicSys), hospital information system (HOMIS), and national online stock inventory reporting system (NOSIRS).

Strategy 3: Engage Both Public And Private Health Care Providers

3.1. At least 50% of all provinces and HUCs have functional province/city-wide referral system*

The unit for the target was changed from a municipality to a province to capture referral of all provincial level health care providers such as the hospitals and NGOs.

At the national level, guidelines and tools for establishment of a TB DOTS referral system will be developed and disseminated. This will take into consideration existing guidelines on PPM with updating of the latter as needed. Both these interventions were not undertaken in the first two years of PhilPACT as planned but are still deemed relevant and will be pursued. New interventions recommended in this update include creation of a national DOTS directory, including TB laboratories, and the assessment of previous PPM mechanisms in provinces or cities. The DOH will also provide support to local PP mechanisms to improve sustainability. The functional referral system must provide for the routine feedback to referring party.

Other new activities include development of local DOTS directories to aid TB referrals and for LGU to explore provision of enablers to incentivize participation in the referral network. The PhilHealth TB package is still one of the viable options for this incentive mechanism.

Page 37: Updated 2010-2016 Philippine Plan of Action to Control Tuberculosis

National TB Control Program | UPDATED 2010–2016 PHILIPPINE PLAN OF ACTION TO CONTROL TUBERCULOSIS 37

Strategy and Updated Performance Targets Changes in the Performance Targets and Activities for 2014–2016

3.2. 90% of public hospitals and 65% of private hospitals are participating in TB control either as DOTS provider or referring center

Target retained

A more definite tool for hospital engagement in the form of the hospital TB guidelines and its accompanying toolkits that draw evidence from various projects and local initiatives will be employed. To promote use of these guidelines, further recommendation is the recruitment of hospital directors to act as champions for hospital DOTS by advocating the intervention to other facilities.

The updated plan also stresses the need to sustain supervision and monitoring of hospitals and, thus, go beyond installation and training as measure of successful engagement. TB cases detected by the hospitals must be measured and must contribute to performance target 3.3, the percentage contribution by non-NTP care providers.

3.3. Fifteen (15%) percent of notified TB cases contributed by the private providers

The original target of 70% of the targeted 9,000 private practitioners are referring patients to DOTS facilities had been exceeded. Thus, this was changed to a higher output indicator of proportion of TB cases contributed by them.

The activities in PhilPACT aimed at engaging individual private practitioners will continue to be adopted. Recent revisions in the NTP Manual of Procedures that give clear guidelines on how to approach patients after partial private sector treatment is expected to increase participation of private physicians. Due to emphasis on PP mechanisms, strengthening of inter-local health zones to engage physicians beyond already existing PPMD units will be a key intervention.

3.4. All DOTS facility staff are equipped to deliver TB services

Target retained

Additional activity is the development of alternative learning platforms (e.g., web-based training programs) as opposed to the traditional training methods being currently employed.

To assure that objectives of trainings are met, a more systematic post-training evaluation that focuses on outcomes rather than just processes and outputs will be developed. The main indicator of success will be ability to apply learnings in service provision.

Strategy 4: Promote and Strengthen Positive Behavior of Communities

4.1. Proportion of TB symptomatics who are self-medicating and not consulting health care providers reduced by 30%

Target retained

In the next three years, the NTP will aggressively scale up the implementation of the National Communication Plan by supporting the LGUs to develop and implement localized communication strategies to identify and reach presumptive TB in the communities. Information officers will be engaged by the TB program managers as well to disseminate these strategies for wider implementation coverage.

At the national level, the NTP will spearhead the development and implementation of tools and guidelines on ACSM-related activities to ensure harmony and synchrony of all TB promotion activities. It will likewise support and supervise the roll out of these activities in collaboration with the Health Promotion and Communication Service (HPCS). The ACSM Strategic Plan will be fully implemented across levels.

Page 38: Updated 2010-2016 Philippine Plan of Action to Control Tuberculosis

38 National TB Control Program | UPDATED 2010–2016 PHILIPPINE PLAN OF ACTION TO CONTROL TUBERCULOSIS

Strategy and Updated Performance Targets Changes in the Performance Targets and Activities for 2014–2016

4.2. 95% of provinces and 70% of HUCs with less than 5% lost to follow-up*

The target was changed to have better clarity. Lost to follow up target was revised from a cut-off of 7% to 5%. The target for the number of provinces and cities was also increased.

At the local levels, LGUs will continue to build the capacity of BHWs, CHTs, health AIDERS (accelerating implementation of DOTS enhancements to reach special population) and community volunteers on treatment supervision to ensure patients finish treatment and cure. Effective mechanisms on enablers and incentives provision will be implemented to support treatment partners and marginalized patients. To assess the effectiveness of this intervention, an Operational Research (OR) will be conducted at the national level.

4.3. At least 10% of all notified TB cases were contributed by CBOs/CHTs/BHWs

The performance target was changed from a process indicator to output indicator—from number of community based organizations (CBOs) engaged to number to their contribution to all notified TB cases.

The NTP direction in the next three years is to continue to build the capacity of LGUs to ensure that engaged CBOs, CHTs, NGOs, and faith-based organizations at the grassroots level will be supported in their TB work. Two new activities include formulating and implementing comprehensive TB patient empowerment strategy and standardizing guidelines and tools for referrals in the communities.

Strategy 5: Address MDR-TB, TB/HIV, and Needs of Vulnerable Populations

5.1. A total of 19,500 MDR-TB cases have been detected and provided with quality-assured second-line anti-TB drugs*

The target was increased from 15,000 to 19,500.

A major approach will be integrating the PMDT services to all DOTS facilities to improve access to diagnostic and treatment services. Policies will be updated and the training modules will be revised to consider recent NTP and WHO policy changes.

5.2. At least 75% of MDR-TB patients are successfully treated**

This is a new performance target to emphasize the need to improve compliance to treatment by MDR-TB patients. All activities are new. Provision of enabler package and capability-building of the providers, hopefully, will reduce the high defaulter rate. Studies to be conducted include reasons for lost to follow up, assessment of current and revised enabler package and the nine-month treatment regimen.

5.3. At least 80% of registered TB cases in Category A and B areas and MDR-TB cases are provided with HIV counselling and testing*

The performance target was revised to specify expansion sites which are the Category A and B areas and to also include MDR-TB for HIV screening. Focus of the activities will be on improving the services to TB HIV co-infected patients including provision of ARV treatment through capability-building and strengthening the referral system.

5.4. 730,000 children initiated with anti-TB treatment or given INH preventive therapy*

Target was changed from nationwide implementation of childhood TB program to a higher level indicator and which is measurable.

Referral of cases from schools to the health facilities will be enhanced and training modules for TB in children will be integrated with the adults.

5.5. Jails and prisons at all levels provide access to DOTS services to all inmates*

Performance target unit was changed from the percent of inmates with access to DOTS to percent of jails and prisons with access to DOTS . The policies and M&E on TB and prison will be revised to incorporate changes in the MOP, 5th ed.

National TB Control Program | UPDATED 2010–2016 PHILIPPINE PLAN OF ACTION TO CONTROL TUBERCULOSIS 39

Strategy and Updated Performance Targets Changes in the Performance Targets and Activities for 2014–2016

5.6. Policies, operational guidelines, and models developed, disseminated, and locally adopted to address needs of vulnerable populations

The targeted vulnerable population had been explicitly stated. These are (a) rural/urban poor, (b) indigenous population, (c) those living in congregate setting, (d) those in disaster affected areas and (e) diabetics.

Major activity will be the deployment of “health AIDERS” to at least 300 poor municipalities. Another one is to support the implementation of MDG 12.

Strategy 6: Regulate and Make Available Quality TB Diagnostic Tests and Drugs

6.1. At least 95% of all TB microscopy laboratories within the NTP laboratory network are providing diagnostic services within EQA standards*

Target retained but re-phrased to make it clearer.

Key activities came from the recently-developed NTP laboratory network strategic plan. In general, the sub-plan aims to enhance the laboratory policies, leadership, and laboratory management systems (human resource, logistics, information, certification, facility and equipment) to ensure the provision of quality-assured, effective, and sustainable TB diagnostic services.

6.2. TB microscopy services are expanded to improve access*

Target changed by deleting “cities and underserved areas” to include all areas.

Access to TB diagnostic services will be improved through the establishment of new facilities such as microscopy laboratories and remote smearing stations, in underserved rural and urban areas, and areas affected by disasters or calamities. The integration of laboratory services, where applicable, and the increased engagement of private sector laboratories will also be pursued to improve access and efficiency in service delivery and management.

6.3. Culture, DST and new technologies are scaled up.**

This is a new performance target.

A major activity is to scale-up the implementation of Xpert MTB/RIF (i.e. GeneXpert) and culture/DST to enhance the program’s capacity to diagnose drug-resistant TB and smear negative TB. This will help improve the detection of drug-resistant TB, TB among vulnerable groups, and among people with high-risk for TB.

6.4. No stock-outs of anti-TB drugs (both FLD and SLD) and laboratory supplies in 90% of DOTS/lab facilities in the last 6 months*

The performance target was re-phrased to make it measurable.

The activities aim to improve supply management of TB drugs and diagnostics by addressing challenges at all points of the supply management cycle that will be identified through a comprehensive study of the system. Interventions will include deploying a logistics team to NTP, building the skills of the TB control managers and adopting an early warning system through the NOSIRS.

The rational use of anti-TB drugs will also be strengthened especially in the private sector to reduce inappropriate treatment with TB medicines, prevent the development of new drug-resistance and other untoward events among patients under treatment. Finally, pharmaco-vigilance (PV) in the NTP will be strengthened to address issues on TB medicines safety. The PV system will help improve the tracking, management, and prevention of adverse drug reactions and adverse drug events.

Performance target 6.3 from the original document “ Every province and HUC with access to functional TB Diagnostic Committee” was dropped. In 2012, NTP made this mechanism optional due to delay in the start of treatment of cases that will need treatment because of the irregular meeting of the TBDC. Instead, the attending physician may decide if the patient needs treatment or not.

Strategy and Updated Performance Targets Changes in the Performance Targets and Activities for 2014–2016

Strategy 7: Certify And Accredit TB Care Providers

7.1. At least 70% of DOTS facilities are DOH/PhilCAT certified and PhilHealth accredited

Target retained

Policies, guidelines and standards for PHIC accreditation and TB DOTS outpatient benefit package will be revised to increase the number of accredited DOTS facilities especially in the public sector. This will help facilitate the filing of claims, improve the utilization of reimbursements so that this becomes more beneficial and acceptable to health care providers, and contribute to the increase in PHIC support to the NTP.

7.2. DOTS standards/evidence for hospital engagement are included in DOH licensing and PhilHealth accreditation requirement

Target retained

No new activities.

7.3 Infection control/laboratory biosafety measures in place in all DOTS/PMDT facilities and laboratories*

Included laboratories in the target.

New activity will be to develop IC plan and to organize a national IC committee.

Strategy 8: Secure Adequate Funding and Improve Allocation and Efficiency of Fund Utilization

FINANCING REQUIREMENTS

Costing Methodology

The PhilPACT costing tool developed in 2009 to estimate the financing requirements of the medium-term TB control strategy is the same tool used in determining the costing requirements of the updated PhilPACT. While the costing tool’s structure is patterned to that of WHO’s budgeting tool for NTP, it is also aligned with PhilPACT and computes the annual costs requirements for all activities listed under the eight strategies of PhilPACT which now includes additional activities to achieve new/revised performance targets. Annual costs are estimated within the period 2010–2016.

Similar costing assumption parameters were used for the period 2010-2013. Hence, most of the costing requirements per activity for this period did not change while some activities that were not accomplished within the scheduled year were either removed or moved into latter period. Changes in costing requirements for the period 2014–2016 were due to the following circumstances or conditions:

• Increase in program targets based on latest data and results of recent assessments• Integration of the four sub-plans into the updated PhilPACT which resulted in addition or deletion

of performance targets and activities• Scaling up of activities due to availability of new diagnostics • Systems improvement/strengthening• Additional activities due to increased program targets and the availability of funds from the Global

Fund’s new funding model (NFM) and other FAPs• Harmonization of unit cost assumptions based on current price or any changes relative to 2009

price previously used in the original computation• Number of LGUs and health facilities were updated, as needed

The estimated financing commitments were updated based on the information gathered from DOH budget and FAPs documents. Identification of potential financing are estimated per strategy level due to inadequate information per activity level. The costing tool provides the financing commitments per strategy per year. However, USAID other projects’ budget was incorporated into the total financing commitments for FAPs.

The funding gap is computed as financing requirements less financing commitments. This is done per strategy, and aggregated across all strategies and for all years of PhilPACT planning.

Summary of Financing Requirements and Funding gaps

The total financing requirement for PhilPACT implementation is PhP29 billion, more than 26 percent increase based on its previous requirement. The breakdown by strategy and year is shown in the next table.

Costing requirements of updated PhilPACT for 2010–2016 based on the original costing increased in all strategies except for strategy 7 and strategy 8. The decrease in cost was due to the deletion or transfer of some of the activities under these strategies based on the results of PhilPACT midterm review.

Figure 6. Estimated Annual Financing Requirements of PhilPACT, 2010–2016, in Philippine Peso

Annual costs vary from PhP3.2 billion in 2010 to PhP5.7 billion in 2016. Frontloading of activities occurs mostly during the first two years and again in 2013-2014 due to implementation of new activities including establishment of additional laboratories and procurement of new equipment. Highest financing requirement is on 2016 comprised of costly activities such as the next DRS scheduled on 2016 and higher PBGs.

FAPs account for the lion’s share of prospective PhilPACT funding (44%) which is attributed to the additional funding commitment from FAPs to fund new interventions, followed by the national government (23%) and LGUs (19%). Projected out-of-pocket expenditures for TB DOTS remains significant at 12% due to payments to private providers as well as the transportation costs incurred.

Strategy 5 and strategy 6 account for most of the financing requirements at 70 percent of the total. Although strategy 6 increased almost in double, strategy 5 is still highest in financing requirement per total. Strategy 8 has the least cost at less than $ 1 B.

Despite known commitments of FAPs and expected national government funding, funding gaps are expected to persist due to out-of-pocket expenditures and programmed LGU expenditures that have yet to be secured. The total funding gap is PhP8 billion and is expected to increase in 2014 due to additional activities for scaling up of interventions.

IMPLEMENTING ARRANGEMENTSThe implementing structure of the updated PhilPACT as described in pp. 84 – 85 of the original document is not changed.

MONITORING AND EVALUATIONShows the “modified” monitoring and evaluation matrix that contains the indicators, definition, baseline and targets, sources of data, data collection methodologies and the frequency of reporting.

Due to the revision in the targets corresponding changes in the indicator and targets had been done. It is also harmonized with the recording and reporting system of the Manual of Procedures, 5th ed. Additional column “definition” was added to make the indicator clearer. With the planned expansion of the integrated TB information system, most of the data will be generated electronically by 2016. The NTPS will be conducted in 2015. A terminal evaluation of PhilPACT is planned in early 2016.
