| Organization Description: | |
| 1. Mission: Engendering a new social order through our interventions and development programs, which would instigate every individual, especially women and children, to live their life exuberantly to its fullest. 2. India has the highest TB infections globally. It accounts for a quarter of the global TB infections. India has the high TB incidence of 26% in the world. India bears a disproportionately large burden of the world’s tuberculosis rates. It is estimated that about 40% of the Indian population is infected with TB bacteria, the vast majority of whom have latent TB rather than TB disease. In 2021, 2,590,000 developed tuberculosis and 504,000 people died from the disease. Hence, we are interested in contributing to the noble goal of preventing people from TB. 3. We are planning to implement the control plan designed to ensure the following: • prompt detection of infectious TB patients, • airborne precautions, and • treatment of people who have suspected or confirmed TB disease. As well as the following measures will be taken to reduce the risk for exposure: Implementing a respiratory protection program; Training health care personnel on respiratory protection; and. Educating patients on respiratory hygiene and the importance of cough etiquette procedures. We aim to eliminate TB as a public health issue by coordinating and focusing disease-control activities on three main goals: Rendering all individuals with active TB disease as non-infectious. Ensuring all individuals with latent TB infection remain non-infectious. |
