Abstract

Following an operational research study in Zomba Central Prison, Malawi, in 1996, the National Tuberculosis Control Programme (NTP) and the Prison Medical Services worked together to improve the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis (TB) in prisoners. Prisoners are screened for TB on admission and during their prison sentences. A system was established of treating patients, according to NTP guidelines, while in prison and on discharge from prison. Monitoring and evaluation is undertaken using TB officers at district and regional level, and 6-monthly meetings are held with all stakeholders and the central unit to collate data and review prison TB control activities.
