Abstract
Introduction: Community Engagement has been playing the role of improving the treatment outcome in many diseases. Government of India has used this strategy for ending the Tuberculosis (TB) under the initiative of Pradhan Mantri TB Mukta Bharat Abhiyan.
Objective: To describe the implementation of the program in a state in Chattisgarh.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted based on secondary data available for the state of Chattisgarh to know the implementation of program. The data was extracted from the portal. Data such as total patients of Tuberculosis, number of patients consented for the program and number of the patients getting benefit from the same were extracted. The data was presented with the appropriate tables and figures.
Result: Total patients in the state were 23153, out of which 18990 (82.02%) had consented for the provision of Nutritional kits. Out of Consented, nearly 5626(30%) of patients had received the nutritional kits. It was noted that the districts which were classified as aspirational districts and tribal block had more patients benefitted from the program.
Conclusion: Out of consented only 30% of patients were given nutritional kits. This highlights the greater number of Nikshay Mitra should be identified for increasing the benefit to the patients, which will accelerate the effort of Government to combat the TB.
