The USAID’s TB Innovations and Health Systems Strengthening (TBIHSS) Project, led by FHI 360 in the Philippines, conducted a series of consultation meeting and planning workshop on the Integrated Delivery of Tuberculosis Services (iDOTS) Phase 2 Implementation nationwide. TBIHSS successfully consulted with 13 regions from June 2022 to March 2023 where bulk of the discussion was anchored on the iDOTS Phase 2 overall implementation plan in line with the Universal Health Care implementation.

As a result, 92 operational plans were developed that will serve as the blueprint for the iDOTS Phase 2 implementation.
