## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (SHRI JAGAT PRAKASH NADDA)

(a) to ( c) : As per the World Health Organization (WHO) Global TB report 2015, in the year 2014, 2.2 million cases were estimated in India which is higher than any other cou

However,  this  high  number  is  because  of  our  large  population  even  though  t incidence, prevalence and mortality due to TB in India has been consistently declinin the  last  15  years  and  India  has  also  achieved  the  Millennium  Development  Goal  and halved the TB prevalence and mortality as compared to 1990 levels. Amongst the 22 high Burden countries in the world India ranks 17 th in incidence rate.

The details of TB and MDR - TB cases and attributable deaths in each of the last thre years and the current year, State/UT - wise are Annexed .

According  to  the  WHO  Global  TB  Reports from  2013  to  2015,  the  estimated proportion of Multi - Drug  Resistant  TB  Cases  in  India  is  not  increasing.  The  proportion MDR cases is estimated to be in between 1.9 -2.6 percent among new TB cases and between 11-19 percent among re -treatment cases.

How ever, t he detection of MDR - TB cases has been increasing due to availability of more  diagnostic  facilities  for  MDR  TB  and  coverage  of  the  entire  country  thro Programmatic Management of Drug Resistant TB (PMDT) under the Revised National TB Control Progra mme (RNTCP), achieved between 2007 and 2013.

(d): Free treatment and diagnostic services are provided to patients who are treated the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme.

As per existing national programme implementation strategy, there is no provision for nutritional supplementation for TB patients.

(e): Government  of  India  is  implementing  the  Revised  National  Tuberculosis  Control Programme under the aegis of National Health Mission.

For quality diagnosis of TB, Designated Microscopy C entres have been established for every one lakh population in the general areas and for every 50,000 population in the hilly and difficult areas. More than 13000 microscopy centres have been established country. Treatment centres (DOT Centre s) have been established near to residence of patients to  the  extent  possible.  In  addition  to  the  government  health  facilities,  NGOs, Practitioners  (PPs)  involved  under  RNTCP,  community  volunteers,  Anganwadi  workers, women self - help groups etc. als o function as DOT Centres. Drugs are provided under direct observation and the patients are monitored so that they complete their treatment.

Under  RNTCP,  diagnosis  of  drug  resistant  TB  is  undertaken  at  64  Culture  &  dru susceptibility testing (CDST) labor atories, of which 51 laboratories are also equipped with rapid molecular test. Additionally, Cartridge Based Nucleic Acid Amplification (CBNAA Test Machines have been installed at 121 sites for early detection of Rifampicin res among  TB  cases.  TBH IV  collaborative  activities  for  TBHIV  co - infection  are  being Implemented throughout the country.

Notification  of  TB  cases  was  made  mandatory  vide  Government  Order  No  Z -28015/2/2012 - TB dated 7th May 2012.

A case based web based online application 'Nikshay' has been adopted to facilitate notification and improve surveillance.
