Abstract

Introduction: The National AIDS Program in Jordan has faced numerous challenges, including insufficient funding, limited resources, and complexities brought on by refugee influxes. The absence of a reliable HIV/AIDS surveillance system further complicates tracking and responding to the epidemic. This study aimed to evaluate the performance and functionality of the National AIDS Program and the HIV/AIDS surveillance system.

Introduction:
Continued smoking by patients with tuberculosis (TB) and people living with HIV (PLHIV) leads to adverse treatment outcomes. Estimates of tobacco use among the population are scarce in the Eastern Mediterranean region, where the burden of TB and HIV is also low but highly variable. This study determined the prevalence of current smoking and assessed factors associated with current smoking among patients with TB and PLHIV in Jordan.

Summary

Abstract:

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) actively collaborates with different stakeholders and partners globally to enhance rapid detection and response mechanisms for disease outbreaks, with an approach anchored in a comprehensive understanding of human mobility dynamics. The movements of populations, including the points of origin, transit, destination, and return, encapsulate mobility within and across borders.

Objectives

Evaluate and determine the gaps in the National Tuberculosis Program and Tuberculosis Surveillance System in Jordan.

Methods

A concurrent embedded mixed quantitative/qualitative methods study was conducted to assess the National Tuberculosis Program and Tuberculosis Surveillance System in Jordan. A semi-structured questionnaire was developed based on the Updated CDC Guideline for Evaluating Public Health Surveillance System to collect necessary information from service providers and other stakeholders.
