We develop educative slogans and conduct campaigns to gather people towards quitting people of their “habits” to avoid life-risks and to take action towards TB-Free areas. Throughout our earlier programmes of meeting, personal visits and educative programmes, IEERD identifies people with symptoms and help them to get checked and if found anyone needs refer them to hospitals especially connecting them to TB Control Team. We closely work with RNTCP, APSACS and Health Department in the State, AP. We also arrange vehicles for people from non-vehicle available locations of forest-dwelling and fringe villages’ communities for treatment and checkups etc. We also collect samples from people using designated tins and submit through and to the RNTCP Team. IEERD helps to have the three tests The three tests are sputum smear microscopy, chest X -ray, and the CB-NAAT test. We ourselves collect sputum spear form people and submit to Govt.

TB-HIV: India has among the largest numbers of TB cases (23%) of the global total. The National Strategic Plan for TB Elimination (2017–2025) is a statement of commitment to eliminate TB by 2025 by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. It proposes bold strategies with commensurate resources to rapidly decline TB incidence and mortality in India by 2025. IEERD will work with CBOs, SHGs, WDFs, VDCs, VSs, EDCs, Farmers Clubs, trade unions and various community groups and religious institutions to educate and admonish action among them to reduce TB instances among children and adults alike. It also proposes to work with other groups to support the project initiatives like PHCs, Health Department, DOT’s, RNTCP, educationalists, NGOs, NPOs, Elected representatives (WERs, ERs) of GPs/Mandal/District administrations, Youth Clubs, PTAs, Teachers’ Unions, Political Parties, ITDA, Pvt.
