About TB Alert India (TBAI)

TB Alert India (TBAI), the Indian arm of TB Alert UK works to the vision of a ‘TB Free India’. It aims to prevent morbidity and mortality associated with TB by providing holistic TB care i.e. addressing psycho-social and economic aspects which affect uptake of TB testing and treatment. Transparency, quality consciousness, responsiveness and integrity are the key values and guiding principles of TBAI. TBAI has a clear strategic approach to: 1. Increase access to information about TB, TB testing and TB treatment; 2. Work with service providers, disease affected people and communities; 3. Build the capacities of local communities and other stakeholders to tackle TB; 4. Integrate TB management approaches with that of other infections such as Diabetes and HIV/TB and into other social development themes; 5. Address social determinants of TB i.e. poverty, malnourishment and economic support. Over 15 years of work towards fighting TB, TBAI has addressed a wide range of essential issues. TBAI has implemented projects which focus on four key aspects: 1. Create awareness and facilitating TB testing; 2. Treatment Adherence; 3. Sustainable engagement of key stakeholders who directly or indirectly influence the response to TB; 4. Building capacities of stakeholders and communities for greater involvement in the fight against TB. TBAI is aided in its work by a diverse funding base that includes multilateral, bilateral, corporate and other donors and a strong team of frontline workers.
