The Union's Child Lung Health Division recently facilitated training in child TB for four districts selected by the Namibia National TB and Leprosy Programme (NTLP). NTLP and health workers from the districts were updated on child TB management and planned operational research activities related to improving care for children with TB. This training was offered with support from a TB CARE Union project.
Namibia has recently updated its National TB Guidelines, including an excellent, up-to-date and practical section on child TB. The team developing the guidelines used the The Union's Desk- guide for diagnosis and management of child TB as a resource.
