Organization Description:
CETI Collaboration for Elimination of TB among Indians is a catalyst and pioneer for innovative ideas which are replicable, sustainable and scalable helping India become TB Free by 2025.
CETI was founded by Dr Manoj Jain and Dr Salil Bhargava in 2010 to make their home city of Indore TB Free. That mission has expanded to help make India TB Free with projects that span across India in cities including Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Delhi and more. Dr Jain and Dr Bhargava have also provided their expertise and guidance as members of the GOI-WHO Joint Monitoring Mission in November 2019. Dr Jain served as a section lead for drug-sensitive TB in this mission.
CETI collaborates with several local, national and international organizations. For example, it has worked closely with AAPI, Association of Physicians of Indian Origin, on TB Free Local Roadmap project in 10 cities see www.tbfree.org/aapi/ and published in the Indian Journal of Tuberculosis titled “Building local roadmaps for TB Free India.” Also, CETI has conducted workshops in collaboration with the government’s TB control program (NTEP), WHO, and USAID.
