COURSE OVERVIEW

 The National Institute for Research in Tuberculosis (NIRT), Chennai is one of the premier institutes of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Department of Health Research (DHR) of Govt. of India. It is an internationally reputed institution for tuberculosis (TB) research and a WHO Collaborating Centre for TB Research and Training. Worldwide, there were 10.4 million new tuberculosis (TB) cases and 1.7 million deaths due to TB in 2015. India contributed to nearly 2 million new TB cases. According to the End TB Strategy adopted in 2014, the global milestones relative to 2015 data are 50% reduction in TB incidence, 75% reduction in TB deaths by 2025 and 90% reduction in TB incidence and 95% reduction in TB deaths by 2035. Early diagnosis and treatment of TB by engagement of public and private care providers are identified as important components to achieve these milestones. In India, TB patients seek care both in the public and private sector. Physicians play a vital role in the early diagnosis and treatment of TB patients. They must be aware of the approved technologies for TB diagnosis and appropriate TB treatment regimens Studies have reported poor prescription practices among physicians. This is a major concern and threat for development of drug resistance and mortality in TB patients. Physicians have to be educated and appraised about the evidence-based approach in diagnosis, treatment and public health standards in the management of TB. ICMR-NIRT is offeringan online course for Physicians on TB. Manage TBis an online course designed to provide basic information about TB and its management. The participants will be provided with an overview of the extent of the TB burden globally and nationally, its pathogenesis, diagnostic modalities, treatment regimens, prevention strategies and efforts towards TB elimination. National and International guidelines will be elaborated on and new TB drugs, vaccines and diagnostics will be introduced. We expect this course to be very useful to Physicians in their day-to-day practice in diagnosing and treating TB patients according to recommended standards.
