Integrated STI, HIV, TB & Hepatitis (ISHTH) Campaign for incarcerated population

To improve the coverage of STI, HIV, TB, and Hepatitis

services among the incarcerated population in Prisons,

Other Closed Settings, Juvenile Homes, and Drug Deaddiction Centres, the National AIDS Control Organisation

(NACO) has launched the Integrated STI, HIV, TB, and

Hepatitis (ISHTH) Campaign. This campaign is implemented

in close collaboration with the National Tuberculosis

Elimination Program (NTEP) and the National Viral

Hepatitis Control Program (NVHCP) under the National

Health Mission.

To facilitate efficient and timely reporting of data from

these institutions on a daily basis, a mobile application has

been developed. This mobile app allows for the monitoring

of data at both the national and state levels. It is designed

to be user-friendly and has the capability to synchronize

offline data, ensuring that data can be collected even in

areas with limited or no internet connectivity.

By utilizing this mobile app, the reporting process becomes

streamlined and standardized across institutions. It enables

real-time monitoring of the campaign's progress,

facilitating prompt interventions and the identification of

areas that may require additional support or resources.

The mobile app also enhances data accuracy and quality by

reducing manual errors and data entry discrepancies. It

provides a reliable platform for capturing and analysing

data related to STI, HIV, TB, and Hepatitis services, helping

to inform decision-making and resource allocation.

Furthermore, the ability of the mobile app to synergize

offline data ensures that data can be collected even in

situations where internet connectivity is limited or

intermittent.
