TB is now a notifiable disease
in India
 It has become mandatory for healthcare providers
in India to report all tuberculosis cases to local government
authorities, following an order issued by the government of India on 7
May 2012.
This is to ensure
proper TB diagnosis and case management, reduce TB transmission and address
the problems of emergence and spread of drug-resistant TB.
Tuberculosis is one of
the most serious public health problems in the Region, particularly
India, and early diagnosis and complete treatment is key to preventing
and controlling the disease.
