Jan Andolan
“The fight against TB needs to be made into a Jan Andolan, a people’s movement”.
The Jan Andolan envisages to an intensive and sustained campaign of reaching out to the population at large with focus on facilitating improved active/passive case finding efforts for early diagnosis, prompt treatment initiation, extending direct benefit transfer to patient/ provider and ensuring successful treatment across the public and private sectors.
In “Jan Andolan”, an effective communication strategy is needed which would focus on reaching the maximum population.
The communication interventions will be in close coordination and lock step with on-ground delivery and implementation in the states, to ensure delivery impact.
It will be complemented with
1.Preventive, diagnostic and curative aspects of TB management
2.Work towards demand generation
3.Multi-sectoral engagement
4.Ensuring regular high visibility mass-media coverage
5.Focus on community ownership and mobilization.
There is also a need to address stigma in a huge way as it is one of the biggest barriers and hinders people from coming forward for reporting the diseases and availing of the treatment.
To mitigate the impact of Covid -19 on the efforts towards ending TB, in addition to the routine calendared IEC/ACSM activities planned in States/UTs, the Central TB Division, MoH & FW had identified thematic areas for each month and planned intensified activities to be conducted at State and District/Facility levels.
