21 Oct 2021

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be an endemic in several parts of the world, including India and needs surveillance, clinical assessment, testing, contact tracing, confirmation of diagnosis with supervised or in-supervised treatment regimens for an effective eradication.

The study found considerable disruptions in TB service provisions both in primary care and hospital settings.

TB management now requires reconfiguration of methods to support patients including wider use of remote consultations. It is a useful study for program implementers.  Click here to read the study.
