Stop TB Partnership is the Key
Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2019, Vol 117, Issue 3
Abstract
Tuberculosis control has always been a serious challenge anywhere. First countrywide report of the epidemiological burden in India came from National Sample Survey (NSS) 1955-58. The survey confirmed the impression of high prevalence of tuberculosis with widely separated infection and disease rates, comparatively low mortality and morbidity rates, chronic disease more in elderly and lack of significant difference between urban and rural population. However, NSS had to make certain compromises on grounds of practicability and feasibility to get estimates for India as a whole as access and reach were not uniform all over the country. Pockets of extremely high morbidity were not considered separately.
