本月，美国国际开发署(USAID)副局长德里克·布朗和印尼卫生部传染性疾病控制和环境卫生局长Tjandra Yoga Aditama启动了USAID涉资1200万美元的“抗肺结核社区赋权”(CEPAT)卫生项目。

USAID’s CEPAT program, launched September 3rd, supports the Government of Indonesia’s efforts to combat tuberculosis (TB) and increase access to early and effective TB diagnosis⁴ and treatment.

USAID的CEPAT项目于9月3日启动，支持印尼政府抗议肺结核，并增加对肺结核诊断和治疗的早期有效途径。

The program will increase the number of people who get tested, treated and cured for TB in Jakarta, East Java, West Java, Banten, West Sumatra, Nusa Tenggara Barat, North Sumatra, West Sumatra, Papua and West Papua. CEPAT works with communities and local organizations to target people who live in urban slums, displaced and mobile populations, the uninsured and people with reduced immunity⁵ due to malnourishment or HIV infection.

该项目将增加雅加达、东爪哇、西爪哇、万丹、西苏门答腊省、 西努沙登加拉、北苏门答腊省、西苏门答腊省、巴布亚和西巴布亚能接受肺结核测验、治疗和治愈者的人数。CEPAT与社区和当地组织合作，帮助那些居住在城市贫民窟的人、流离失所者、流动人口、未参保者，以及那些因为营养不良或艾滋病感染免疫力下降的人。

USAID’s CEPAT program will be implemented⁶ by three Indonesian partner organizations: Lembaga Kesehatan Nadhlatul Ulama (LKNU), Jaringan Kesehatan Masyarakat (JKM) and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Timika (RCD).

美国国际开发署的CEPAT项目将由印尼的三家合作组织LKNU、JKM和 天主教蒂米卡教区来实施。

USAID partners with the Government of Indonesia and local governments to reduce the threat of infectious disease and to provide services to reduce preventable deaths.

美国国际开发署与印尼政府和当地政府合作以减少感染性疾病的威胁，并提供服务以减少可预防死亡案例。

USAID support for combating TB is an important component⁷ of the U.S. overall partnership with Indonesia in health and is included in the U.S.-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership, a commitment made by Presidents Obama and Yudhoyono to deepen bilateral⁸ relations between the United States and Indonesia.

美国国际开发署在肺结核方面的支持是美国与印尼卫生整体合作关系的重要部分，是美印综合伙伴关系的一部分，这是总统奥巴马和尤多约诺意在加深美印双边关系的承诺。

“CEPAT supports the Indonesian National Tuberculosis Program to achieve universal access to quality and early TB diagnosis and treatment among all care providers,” said Dr. Tjandra. “CEPAT was designed in close coordination⁹ with the National Tuberculosis Program (NTP) and is intended to support Community Systems Strengthening, one of the six pillars of the NTP’s Comprehensive Model for TB control in Indonesia.”

“CEPAT支持印尼全国肺结核项目为每个保健提供者提供普遍的高质量早期肺结核诊断和治疗，并与全国肺结核项目(NTP)密切协调，意在支持社区系统强化，是印尼NTP肺结核控制综合模型的六大支柱之一。”

“On behalf of the American people, USAID works with the Ministry of Health, Indonesian organizations and local communities to combat tuberculosis and save lives,” said Deputy Mission Director Brown.

副局长布朗说，“美国国际开发署代表美国人民，与卫生部、印尼各组织和当地社区合作抗击肺结核，从而挽救生命。”

“Together with our partners, we will raise awareness¹⁰ about TB and have more people with symptoms tested. We will also support patients to complete their treatment and be cured. USAID is proud to partner with the Ministry of Health and support their TB program.”

“我们与合作方一道提高对肺结核的认识，并使更多有症状的人得到检验。我们将支持病人完成治疗实现痊愈，能与卫生部合作并支持其TB项目，美国国际开发署感到很自豪。”
