World TB Day Commemoration
TB Network: Sama-samang Sugpuin ang TB
What is TB Network?
-
It is the official
communication handle of the National Tuberculosis Control Program or NTP
that will stand for DOH’s re-energized fight against TB.
-
It is a product of DOH’s
collaboration with the LGUs, PhilCAT, and Philhealth.
-
It is a “special group”
dedicated to help/ take care of TB symptomatics and TB patients.
-
Initially, it comprises
regular health workers in the RHUs, MHOs and PHOs.
-
Eventually, it will include
everyone in the community who wish to help in the administration and
financing of D.O.T.S.; family and relatives of TB symptomatics / patients,
church, church organizations, civic organizations, NGOs, schools,
companies/corporations.
-
TB Network comes with several
information materials, such as print ads, radio and TV commercials. Poster
of this TB Network as endorsed by Secretary Dayrit himself and with its
battle cry “Kakampi Laban sa TB” will also be distributed as soon as
ready.
-
It is participated in by the
different stakeholders like donor agencies, private sector, non-government
organizations, academe, professional societies, pharmaceutical companies and
other TB DOTS partners and individual advocates united as one for a common
cause.
-
Members of TB Network have also
expanded to a huge number of other government agencies as also members of
the Comprehensive & Unified Policy for TB Control in the Philippines or
C.U.P.
-
DOH in cooperation with all the
involved agencies as members of TB Network continuously works hand-in-hand
in increasing case detection and cure rates in accordance with the NTP
Targets every year.
-
In the end, it can blossom into
a systematic, well-oiled, nationwide movement for the eventual complete
eradication and/or control of TB-spearheaded by DOH.
Creative Considerations

Create a strong branding for
NTP
-
Establish a human connection
between the NTP and Target Audiences

that is attractive, impactful, and memorable
