Health specialists gathered at AIIMS, Delhi, to review current approaches and challenges in eliminating tuberculosis across India.
A panel of tuberculosis experts convened at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi to examine the nation’s progress toward eradicating the disease. The meeting focused on assessing existing diagnostic and treatment protocols, identifying gaps in implementation, and exploring newer strategies that could accelerate the elimination timeline.
Participants highlighted the persistent burden of TB in India despite ongoing control measures, emphasizing the need for stronger public‑private collaboration and increased community awareness. They also discussed the role of advanced molecular diagnostics and shorter drug regimens in improving case detection and treatment success.
The experts called for reinforced government commitment, expanded funding for research, and streamlined supply chains for anti‑TB medicines to ensure uninterrupted therapy. The deliberations are expected to inform policy revisions and guide future national TB elimination initiatives.
