Civil Society Note
Point to Ponder
Urgently Ending TB is a mammoth task for TB Advocates, activists, and healthcare workers. Other points that hampered the effective TB Control Program are wide gaps between TB commitments and TB realities like on-the-ground budgetary allocation and availability of funds with the Ministry of Health (MoH), and the National Tuberculosis Control Program to procure the anti-TB drug and reagent in time. Therefore, uninterrupted drug supplies and reagents face shortages at the community level.
Hence, implementation of quality Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS) to save lives. It is the duty of the government to allocate resources timely and adequately to ensure effective TB services to save lives.
