Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme: Revised Schemes for NGOs and Private Providers
The Central TB Division conducted a three day Consultation on Revision of NGO/PP Guidelines in January 2008 in Delhi to improve the collaboration
with private sector in all aspects of RNTCP implementation with the following objectives:
- To review the progress in involvement of NGO/PP in RNTCP since the formulation of schemes and share experiences.
- To review the present NGO/PP schemes , identify constraints and suggest improvements.
- To recommend new schemes to improve the collaboration with other sectors in all aspects of RNTCP implementation.
The Consultation was held with 60-70 participants which included programme managers like STOs, DTOs, of regions where NGOs/PPs have been active in RNTCP; professional bodies like IMA and NGO representatives both from within the programme and outside RNTCP.
These guidelines are a result of deliberations in the various STO Consultants’ meetings, State Reviews, experiences from the fields and repeated discussions in the Central TB Division and Integrated Finance Division after the National Consultation held in Delhi.
