Re: ART centre monitoring mechanism

Dear Forum,

Re: /message/9499

The authority, leadership and accountability comes along with the position and

it is up to the individual to fit in to the position. The person in the position

should develop skills to coordinate and monitor activities rather than to shirk

away responsibilities citing lame excuses like non-cooperation of ART Medical

Officers.

Also here to monitor distribution of nutrition to PLHA does not need any medical

back ground. This is not the first time this happens with DPMs. When expired

drugs were given to PLHIV in Tanjore before six months there was no word from

the DPM of Tanjore.

These district program managers has no line supervisor in the district and there

is no role clarity. They are becoming messengers for SACS which is not the

originally envisioned role of a district program manager.

SACS should seriously work on recruiting more responsible, accountable

professionals who have at least 5 years of field level HIV/AIDS experience for

the position of district program manager position, at least to do justice to

donors / tax payers money.

Dear Forum,

Re: /message/9521

The DPM's/PPTCT Supervisors are coordinating the HIV activity in the district.

Most of the ART Medical Officers (MO) are not cooperating with DPM's/District

Supervisors.

In TANJORE, it is the problem with MO not with DPM. ART MO should careful before

dealing with any PLHA's. How can DPM's will responsible for that.

Second, SACS has to clarify about there role and responsibility in ART Centre.

Because most of the ART MO thinking that they are running separate progaram in

the district.

How can the DPM/Supervisors will coordinate with this?
