SPO is successfully implementing its project titled “Treatment of TB Patients through Direct Observation Treatment Service (TB DOTS)” with the support of Mercy Corps (Global Fund). The project started in January 2024 and will conclude on December 31, 2026, and is being implemented in Balochistan Province, covering the districts of Sibbi, Pishin, Jaffarabad, Kech, Panjgur, and Lasbela.

The objective of the project is to strengthen tuberculosis (TB) treatment and early detection services, reduce transmission rates, and improve patient outcomes in the targeted districts. Under this initiative, SPO is supporting timely diagnosis and treatment through advanced diagnostic equipment, enabling faster and more accurate TB detection. The project also focuses on the management of drug-resistant TB through specific treatment protocols and improved patient care approaches.

SPO has strengthened healthcare capacity by providing comprehensive training to healthcare professionals on TB diagnosis and treatment, contributing to sustainable TB control measures in the region. The project also focuses on increasing public awareness to reduce TB-related stigma, promote early symptom recognition, and encourage timely access to healthcare services. Through these interventions, the project has reached more than 25,000 individuals, contributing to reduced household and community transmission and improved public health outcomes across Balochistan.
