About the Program:
The Joint Effort for Elimination of TB (JEET) 2.0 with support from The Global Fund aims to accelerate the progress of the National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP) towards TB elimination by improving quality of care and increasing patient access to drugs and diagnostics through technologydriven interventions and partnerships with the private sector. Specifically, the project will address gaps in Latent TB Infection (LTBI) care cascade, measure and improve quality of care across the cascade and build NTEP capacity with the objective to address the LTBI burden by establishing mechanisms for household contact tracing of adults and children in contact with Pulmonary TB patients and ensuring access to comprehensive TB prevention, care, and support services.
CHRI under this project will cover 33 NTEP districts across Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, and Ladakh.
