1. AN INDIAN MARRIAGE
2. India is the highest TB burden country accounting for one fifth of the global incidence
3. MDG Goals: Progress in India Indicator 23: between 1990 and 2015 to halve prevalence of TB disease and deaths due to TB
Studies by NTI, TRC suggest annual decline in prevalence by 9%-11%.
Mortality rates have declined from 42 per 100,000 population in 1990 to 28 per 100,000 population in 2006
Indicator 24: to detect 70% of new infectious cases and to successfully treat 85% of detected sputum positive patients
The global NSP case detection rate is 60% and treatment success rate is 84%
RNTCP consistently achieving global bench mark of 85% treatment success rate; and the case detection rate is around 70% (2Q08 – 79%)

28. Challenges DOT center conversion
Sputum transport.
Supervision and quality assurance of private sector by Government sector.
Referral – feedback mechanisms.
Measurement of private sector contribution
29. My musings Medical profession outside NTP is an asset; not a liability
Concerted action by medical profession can result in marked DOTs expansion and substantial reduction in MDR
Professional medical societies have a strong role in uniting the profession to fight TB
30. My musings All PPM in TB is dialogue between clinical medicine and public health. It is as much a political process as technical.
ISTC is the knowledge tool which bridges this chiasm.
Medical profession transcends the barriers between Government and Private
High quality volunteers provide low cost force amplification.
31. Areas for professional medical societies in TB control Consensus on treatment regimen
Consensus on public health duty of clinicians
Consensus on notification
Consensus on second line drugs
Train and maintain a core group of DOTs army
