Patient Support

Patient Support

TB has multi-faceted social determinants and implications that call for robust and holistic interventions like nutrition support, economic support in cash or kind and psycho-social support. 

Problem Statement

  • TB is associated with poor socioeconomic status, marginalization and exploitation. The battle against TB often forces patients out of employment, driving households into poverty. A compromised nutritional status increases susceptibility to other diseases, delays recovery, and can even contribute to morality among TB patients. TB, in turn, reduces appetite and induces wasting among patients.
  • TB patients can avail various benefits under different schemes provided by the government departments and ministries. However, the actions required to tackle the socio-economic and structural determinants of TB lie beyond the purview of the National Programs alone, calling for additional response.
  • Corporates through their Corporate Social Responsibility programs can act as agents for psycho-social economic support through facilitation of nutritional support for entire family, counseling, skill development, livelihood opportunities etc.

Invest to Eliminate TB

Despite TB being a curable disease and free of cost treatment being provided by the Government, India continues to have the highest incidence of TB in the world along with highest TB mortality. Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi committed to eliminate TB in India by 2025.  It is an ambitious target and there is a need for increased investments and partnerships by all sectors including the corporate sector to contribute to the goal of making India TB free. These partnerships will not only save lives but also help your brand gain the visibility it deserves as it cares for its people and communities,  and support interventions with measurable outcomes.

Delay in accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis in India is also due to untrained first line of contact, be it allopaths or alternative medicine.
