TB programme grappling with lack of funds; weak enforcement of standards another problem

A joint initiative of the government, independent experts and civil society has found that multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is emerging as a major health problem in India. Moreover, delay in treatment of MD-RTB is the main reason behind increasing antibiotic resistance, especially towards drug Rifampicin.

The findings have been established by Joint Monitoring Mission (JMM) 2015 of the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP). JMM is an annual exercise that brings together national and international experts, Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, civil society members, implementation partners and developmental agencies to review the progress of TB control efforts in India. The exercise is being conducted for the last five years.

JMM 2015 was carried out in seven states across India to get a sense of challenges being faced in elimination of the communicable disease.
