Another key question is how well these programs ensure linkages to care.
The facilitators and master trainers ensure linkages with district and national-level resources, helping to improve flows of information and knowledge sharing.
Nonetheless, the lack of strong synergy between CJF and other district and ward level programmes appears to have originated from the initial design of the programme which did not highlight exactly how the CJF programme would ensure linkages and the engagement of various stakeholders in the management, implementation and monitoring of its activities.
The tether ensures linkage between the product and the ribozyme that produced it, while also giving the substrate some freedom to explore the surface of the folded RNA.
In the revised strategy, there will be five salaried CHEWs who will carry out promotive, preventive and curative tasks, supported by 10 volunteer CHWs (2 for each CHEW) who will now act as mobilizers, ensuring linkage between community and CHEWs for health-related activities for every community unit of 5000 people.
But serious challenges remain with regard to protecting human rights, informed consent and ensuring linkages to care.
Prevention requires changing attitudes related to feeding practices, bringing together a broad range of ministries and partners in innovative ways, looking at early childhood development, ensuring linkages with the agricultural sector, social protection and water and sanitation programmes and promoting the empowerment of women and communities.
The interim policy recommended routine HIV testing for patients with TB disease and ensuring linkages to HIV care and treatment for patients with TB disease diagnosed with HIV infection (hereafter patients with both TB disease and HIV infection will be referred to as patients with TB/HIV).
A SLU may employ one of a number of models to ensure that linkage is carried out efficiently and securely while satisfying the linkage needs of the research.
Also, we hypothesize that BPH functions as a metapopulation and, as such, periodic outbreaks could be a natural phenomenon requiring resupply of planthoppers into vacant areas to ensure genetic linkage among subpopulations.
