I would like to share my story about how i advocated for vaccination of patients both in the hospital and at the community level. When covid-19 vaccine was brought in our country, I was working in a diabetes center of excellency where I manage diabetes patients, this is a category of people who were at high risk of contracting covid-19 due to there low immunity. There was alot of resistance among these patients on uptake of the vaccine. there was alot knowledge deficit at the time on the importance of vaccination, so as nurse advocate i organized for the health education about the importance of covid-19 vaccination and this helped the both diabetes patients and their care givers to have a positive attitude towards the vaccine. I also visited the communities during support groups and give health education as well.

Lesotho

First Leadership Development Programme Tuberculosis continue to be a public thread world-wide with global incidence of 10.4 million and under developed countries outweigh the risk and this calls for a big question of why? Lesotho has faced the TB incidence of 654/100,000 as of (prevalence survey 2019) hence TB case finding is less than 50% which also calls for us as implementers to probe more on TB case finding. 1. COMMUNITY TB BASED INTERVENTIONS. • Community TB case finding. Innovative strategies complementing facility based case detection are needed to address these barriers one such strategy is active TB case finding from the community which involves systematically searching for TB from individuals who will not present at health facility and bring them to care. The focus being: To bring them to care in-order to improve early TB detection…ECSF LESOTHO 2020. • Community TB door to door surveillance. Is the way out and patient centred care if only done well by the service providers and this calls for more innovative strategies to find TB in the country or even world-wide hence the pick of the following innovative solution. Problem-1 failure to probe more about TB especially when conducting TB screening and during TB contact tracing activities so it will be necessary to monitor the person by asking the signs and symptoms of TB as well as the person being asked questions whether she/he tells the TRUTH. Develop a digital scan that will sense the truth from both the patient and the service provider while asking and answering the questions. This device will work as a scanner: • Patient will put her/his hand on top while the voice detector record the care giver’s voice tone when asking questions. • Microchip will be implanted in a scanner with a litmus paper that will change colour as both the patient and care giver provide service. • There will be a litmus paper which will turn either green, yellow or red depending on the truth told by the incumbent. • The score card will be read right away and decision be made.
