Despite major successes in TB care and control, India is still grapping with formidable challenges. Engaging private sector (where up to 50% cases must be in) and ensuring accurate diagnosis using WHO standard tools and standard treatment is given to every patient; combating drug resistance; are few of the obstacles ahead of us.

Dr VK Arora, Editor of Indian Journal of Tuberculosis; former Additional Director General Health Services (DGHS) Government of India; and former Director of National Institute of TB and Respiratory Diseases (NIRTD, formerly LRS); spoke with CNS.
