Need for Palliative Care for TB Patients

Regular, accurate information on consumption, drug stock and supplies at the Peripheral Health Institute (PHI), Tuberculosis Units (TUs), districts and state levels are essential for timely drug stock indenting and distribution at all levels.

Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) Maker and Checker are responsible for the 2-level benefit approval in Ni-kshay, which must be repeated for every benefit.

Ni-kshay automatically generates benefi­ts as per the scheme guidelines. All bene­fits are linked to the patient's episode irrespective of the benefi­ciary.

Benefi­ciaries for any scheme need to be ­first informed about the scheme details, its benefi­ts and the process of receiving the benefi­ts.

Strategic planning is a fundamental component in the management of a TB programme and is a key instrument in efficiently implementing the policies for TB prevention, care & control and elimination in the country.

Different tuberculosis (TB) case finding strategies are deployed in public and private sector for early detection of TB patients and their subsequent linkage to treatment facility.
