Registering a TS in Nikshay

Assigning a Treatment Supporter to a Patient

• Once the Treatment Supporter is identified, the records of the person on TB treatment (Ni-kshay & treatment card) have to be updated by assigning the treatment supporter (prior registration in Ni-kshay is a pre-requisite) to the person on TB treatment.
• Treatment Supporters can receive the Treatment Supporters Honorarium (Rs 1000 for DS-TB Treatment and H mono/poly regimen; Rs 5000 for other DR-TB regimens) as a Direct Benefit Transfer. However, to receive the DBT they should not be a salaried government employee.
• NOTE:
  Only one Treatment Supporter can be assigned to an episode with the status "On Treatment" of the person on TB treatment
  the current PHI/ TU user can assign Treatment Supporters.

• If required, a Treatment Supporter can be removed/ replaced by another Treatment Supporter anytime during the treatment.
