Under the able leadership of Central TB Division, The Corporate TB Pledge Secretariat is set to host the (Drug Resistance TB) DR-TB Consortium Meeting on September 14, 2023 (Thursday) at The Lalit, New Delhi.

Corporate Partners who have been part of DR-TB Consortium have consistently shown their dedication by fostering strong partnerships. These biannual consortium meetings, organized by the CTP Secretariat, provide a platform for partners to collaborate, exchange insights, and demonstrate their unique support models for DR-TB patients. The Consortium comprises of members from varying sectors including PSUs, health equipment manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and corporate hospitals among others.

The Proposed DR-TB consortium meeting aims at bringing together Central TB Division and Corporates to discuss partnerships for supporting the National TB Elimination Programme. The meeting highlights the corporate efforts in DR-TB management, with sessions focused on corporate initiatives in improving the Active case findings and NAAT services, comprehensive models of community engagement for TB, patient support initiatives by corporate hospitals, PSU led models of engagement and strengthening of the diagnostics & infrastructure support.

Eminent speakers from top corporates and PSUs including IOCL, Fortis hospitals, Artemis Hospitals, Yashoda Super speciality hospital, Molbio, Becton Dickinson, Aster India and others will grace the event. Additionally, new commitments from the corporates will be announced during the meeting further amplifying partnerships in TB and DR-TB in the country.
