The Central TB Division, MoHFW, Indian Medical Association (IMA) and The International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union) jointly organized a “Private Health Sector Dialogue towards a TB Free India” on 29th September 2015 at The Park, New Delhi. The event helped in initiating a dialogue with various National Medical Associations and effectively engaging them in supporting the Revised National TB Control Programme.
Around 1 million of the total estimated TB cases in India remain unaccounted for each year. Many of these are likely being managed in the private health sector, which is the first point of contact for a majority of people seeking care for TB.
The Private Health Sector Dialogue was organized to call for Professional Medical & Allied Associations to join the TB-Free India campaign and help reach the “missing” TB cases.
