Community treatment in India- via TB-ALERT
Dr Mandal is a private health provider, practicing in a small clinic in Burari, North Delhi, where he sees over 60 patients each day. He believes that it is the responsibility of all health providers to make sure the community access the free diagnosis and treatment available for tuberculosis under the national TB control programme.
To date, Dr Mandal has referred more than 50 people for TB testing and encouraged six private practitioner colleagues to do so as well. Dr Mandal has also registered to become a directly observed treatment provider for TB Alert India – TB Alert’s sister organisation – making sure that the TB patients in his care take their medicine each and every day.
The photo on the left shows Dr Mandal with one of his DOT patients, Rajkumar, who is receiving antibiotic injections to treat a drug-resistant form of the illness. Before he could visit Dr Mandal at his local clinic, Rajkumar was unable to make the long trips for treatment.
