Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that most often affect the lungs and it is completely curable, preventable one. Globally in 2015, the world had an estimated 10.4 million new tuberculosis cases. The overall success rate of tuberculosis treatment in the WHO South-East Asia Region stood at 79% in 2015, the lowest in the last five years, largely because, India’s private sector healthcare system accounting for a large proportion of tuberculosis patients did not report to the National tuberculosis Programme. So every effort is being made to engage the private sector in India and improve the quality of care provided by private practitioners. Public private partnerships play very effective role in eliminating tuberculosis. By implementing this we will get hand full of cases and there is no chance for missing cases and will enhance to reduce the tuberculosis mortality and prevention of Drug Resistant Tuberculosis.
