Tuberculosis Drug Resistance 'alarming' in India

"This includes credit of Rs.7.65 billion from the World Bank and a grant of Rs.1.99 billion for commodity assistance of anti-TB drugs from the Department of International Development (DFID)," she had said.

The RNTCP, popularly known as DOTS program, was introduced in the country in 1997 in a phased manner to achieve a cure rate of 85 percent of new sputum positive cases and to detect at least 70 percent of such cases. The entire country was covered by March 2006.

Till date, 6.7 million patients have received DOTS treatment averting more than 1.22 million deaths.

TB is still a major cause of death worldwide and 1.6 million people had succumbed to the disease in 2005, WHO said in Geneva Thursday.
