With funding from Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD); LHL
International, Paradiso TB Patients Trust, and National Organisation of Nurses and
Midwives of Malawi (NONM) were awarded a project: Filling the gap; finally
addressing Post TB disability. The Overall objective of the project is to reduce the
burden of TB by meeting the rights and needs of people with post TB disabilities in
Malawi. The project is targeting Post TB survivors and the problems they face that
limits them in participating in everyday activities in society. The project was
developed based on other studies conducted on post TB both in Malawi and outside
Malawi. This approach is a Holistic package of care and support for post TB disability
clients/patients. Disability in the project is an umbrella term that includes impairment,
activity limitations and participation restriction.
