EHA continues to support the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) of the Government of India through the TB services provided by our hospitals units. 12 of our hospitals continue to provide various levels of TB services. The major player continues to be Nav Jivan Hospital Satbarwa in the state of Jharkhand, which functions as a Tuberculosis unit covering 500,000 population. Various proposals for upgrading their services were sent to funding agencies and support is awaited. Dr Chering from Nav Jivan Hospital underwent a three month exposure in Bronchoscopy and Respiratory Medicine in UK as part of a European Respiratory Society scholarship program. The new TB block built at the hospital was inaugurated this year and is fully functional. This building was funded through TB Alert. Three EHA hospitals which are not part of the RNTCP were supported by TB Alert to develop infrastructure towards establishing Tuberculosis services. These hospitals are Madhipura, Lalitpur and Lakhnadon. Fatehpur was supported through the same funding for enhancing its infrastructure to improve on the existing TB programs. TB programs in other units continue to provide services to the local communities. TB HIV services are being provided in Shalom Delhi. |
