“The progress that has been made in combating TB has been hard-won and must be intensified if we are to wipe out the TB epidemic. The End TB Strategy offers new hope to the millions of people suffering and losing their lives to TB each year. It is time to join forces to create a world free of TB.”

-Dr Eric Goosby, United Nations Special Envoy on TB

“Everyone with TB should have access to the innovative tools and services they need for rapid diagnosis, treatment and care. This is a matter of social justice, fundamental to our goal of universal health coverage. Given the prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis, ensuring high quality and complete care will also benefit global health security. I call for intensified global solidarity and action to ensure the success of this transformative End TB Strategy.”

-Margaret Chan, Director-General World Health Organization

Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), IUATLD, RNTCP, WHO, …& along with our partners and colleagues around the world share successes in TB prevention and control and raise awareness towards the elimination of this devastating disease where we call TB “history.” CDC’s Division of Global HIV & TB (DGHT) is on the frontlines in more than 25 high burden countries working with partner governments to find, cure, and prevent TB and help sustain country efforts.

What are the Steps/efforts taken by the Indian Government for controlling TB?

What are the Steps efforts taken by the Indian Government for controlling TB

  1. NIKSHAY Scheme: To facilitate TB notification, RNTCP has developed a case-based web-based TB surveillance system called “NIKSHAY” for both government and private health care facilities. Future enhancements under NIKSHAY are for patients support, logistics management, direct data transfers, adherence support and to support interface agencies which are supporting programme to expand the reach.
  2. Public-private Mix (partnership): For the promotion of public-private mix (PPM) in TB prevention and care, private providers are provided incentives for TB case notification, and for ensuring treatment adherence and treatment completion. The incentives are provided through direct beneficiary transfer. Indian government gives incentives to the Private Sector who are TB Care Providers. Free drugs and diagnostic tests for TB patients in the private sector.
  3. National strategic plan((NSP) for tuberculosis elimination 2017-2025 by RNTCP
  4. To eliminate TB in India by 2025, five years ahead of the global target, a framework to guide the activities is formulated by RNTCP as National Strategic Plan(NSP) for Tuberculosis Elimination 2017-2025.

According to the NSP TB elimination have been integrated into the four strategic pillars of “Detect – Treat – Prevent – Build” (DTPB).

1. Detect:

Notification of all TB patients from all health care providers is made mandatory by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India since 2012. Rapid Diagnosis & treatment of TB is important. Otherwise, TB can spread in family & community causing suffering and often death without quality treatment. For TB diagnosis more than 14,000 designated microscopy centres spread across the country. Cartridge Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests (CBNAAT) / Line Probe Assay (LPA) has been established at district levels for decentralised molecular testing for drug-resistant TB.

2. Treat:

Sustaining all TB patients on appropriate anti TB treatment wherever they seek care, with a patient-friendly system and social support. Provision of free TB drugs in the form of daily fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) for all TB cases is advised with the support of directly observed treatment (DOT).

3. Prevent:

It is rightly said prevention is better than cure.

With the objective to prevent the emergence of TB in a susceptible population, various measures are taken by the Government such as: 

  • BCG vaccination– It is provided at birth or as early as possible till one year of age. BCG vaccine has a protective effect against meningitis and disseminated TB in children.
  • Scale-up air-borne infection control measures at health care facilities
  • Treatment for latent TB infection in contacts of bacteriologically-confirmed cases
  • Address social determinants of TB through an intersectoral approach like poverty, malnutrition, urbanization, indoor air pollution, etc. require inter-departmental/ ministerial coordinated activities and the programme is proactively facilitating this coordination.

4. Build:

Health system strengthening for TB control under the National Strategic Plan 2017-2025 is recommended in the form of building and strengthening enabling policies, empowering institutions and human resources with enhanced capacities. All the people at a workplace or home should be encouraged about their health maintenance and must know about the prevention of tuberculosis.

Last, but not least, I must say –World Tuberculosis Day reminds us that it is a fight to be jointly fought consistently by all of us against a deadly disease that can surely be cured through proper medical treatment, awareness & health care management & help the sufferers globally.
