It is an internationally reputed centre for Tuberculosis (TB) research and a WHO Collaborating Centre for TB Research and Training. The online free course for doctors “Manage TB” is an initiative of the NIRT to address the felt need of sensitizing doctors both in public and private sector to the standards of care and the new guidelines and developments in the modern management of TB. The course has been designed keeping in mind the busy schedule of practicing Physicians. We believe that this is the first online course of this type in India and we are confident it will enable practicing doctors to keep themselves abreast of current developments and best clinical practices in the management and control of this disease.

More than 3500 participants enrolled for the courses, and of those who took the final exam 99.5% were declared passed. We have had favourable feedback on the merits and value of the course. We are now in advanced stage of planning for the third  run of the course starting in July 2019We hope that this online 8-week Manage TB course will benefit doctors treating TB patients and medical students and help them to offer care of a higher order to their patients.
