Remember 141CheckTB, if 14 days of coughing does not subside? 1 solution, see a doctor immediately!

Campaigns Don't Wait 2 Weeks
A Youth-Led TB Campaign
Massive dissemination of correct information about TB to the community and the involvement of community leaders to disseminate communication, information and education materials are key in this campaign strategy.

Media involvement
STPI believes Mass Media has control over the wider coverage of TB.
There were around 30 editors and 60 local journalists who participated in TB reporting. Spread across DKI Jakarta and West Java Provinces, ranging from local and national media. To date, there are around 344 TB reports published in print and online media.
Public Online Discussion "Tuberculosis in the Midst of Covid-19 News"
There is still relatively little coverage of TB in the media. Perhaps TB is still considered unsexy because the case has been around for more than 100 years but cannot be eliminated until today. The media should cover TB more because by involving all sectors including the media, this issue will increasingly become a national concern.
YOUTH INVOLVEMENT
caraka tb institute









































Caraka TB Institute (CTI) is a TB promotion and prevention programme involving young people aged 18-25 years. They are 20 young people selected from various regions across Indonesia (Medan, Sintang, Pekanbaru, Bali, Gowa, Jember, South Tangerang, Palu, Mempawah, Malang, Biringkanaya, Bengkulu, Unhas, Padang, Makassar, Kubu Raya, Cirebon, Depok, Aceh). Their presence is expected to contribute to Tuberculosis control in the country. However, before tackling a larger scale, the Caraka participants underwent training in a village called Oharanesia. Let's see what they learnt in Oharanesia!
Day One,
They meet with the ‘Village Guide’ to receive more details about the activities they will be undertaking over the next three days. After receiving instructions, they must search for the signalling totem, which is the key to meeting the village elder called "Village Sintua".

After searching all day, they finally found the totem. In the evening, they met and had a dialogue with the Village Sintua, who introduced them to Oharanesia and discussed the tuberculosis epidemic plaguing the village.

Day Two,
In the morning, the Caraka met with a TB survivor and her father. They had a dialogue about the challenges faced by the TB survivor, including difficulties in accessing health services, getting medicine, and not having enough money for transport to health facilities.
Discussion with TB survivors
In the afternoon, the Carakas attended a session on Challenges and Opportunities in Eliminating TB by 2030.

Day Three was the highlight of the training. In the morning, news broke of the rash policies made by the Governor of Oharanesia (Gobernador), as reported by the media. The Carakas were furious about these policies!
Village Sintua provides knowledge to the Caraka on how to fight the Governor. This includes advocacy, campaigning and engaging with the media. At the end of the day, they put what they had learnt into practice by organising a press conference, then campaigning to gather support, as well as holding an audience with the Governor.

Unfortunately, the audience with the Governor was unsuccessful. Finally, the Caraka decided to take action by organising a demonstration at the Governor's palace to demand the repeal of the rash policy. The Governor agreed, mission accomplished!

Day Four,
was the last day of training for the Caraka. They made action plans related to the TB campaign in their respective areas before returning to their hometowns.

On the fifth day,
the Carakas returned to their areas and started the TB campaign. How sad to say goodbye! However, that doesn't mean they will lose communication!

University Youth Engagement
In its implementation, STPI and IMUT held youth involvement which resulted in 1,346 students participating in TB screening, 8 screening booths were set up, and 38 students became TB Champions.

Universitas Udayana
Screening was conducted using both offline approaches through screening booths and online through the IMISSU* Unud System. The booth screening was held concurrently with other student activities a total of 3 times

Universitas Airlangga
Screening was conducted using an offline approach through screening booths set up for 2 days at student gathering areas.

Universitas Gadjah Mada
Screening was conducted using an offline approach through screening booths, which were set up 4 times. The screening booths were held concurrently with student activities facilitated by HPU (Health Promoting Unit).
project coordination
Initial coordination was carried out jointly with the university and local health department. During this initial coordination, cooperation with the health department was also sought for the implementation of TB Warriors 2.0. Additionally, in this initial coordination, the health department identified healthcare facilities that would be involved in TB control activities at the university, leading to the establishment of SOP (at UNUD) to clarify the procedures to be followed. Meanwhile, at UNAIR and UGM, no SOP formation was conducted as they already had their own.

Evaluation
& Learning
STPI conducted an evaluation of the implementation of the TB Warrior 2.0 campaign in 3 universities. This evaluation is a summative evaluation to identify obstacles, challenges, and lessons learned from the TB Warrior 2.0 campaign, as well as to produce tactical and strategic recommendations for the development of future university-based campaigns. This evaluation also produces an activity report as a final refinement where the results of the TB Warrior 2.0 campaign were published at the INA-TIME event and disseminated to the Indonesian Ministry of Health and produced a report that can be downloaded in the element below.
