The project aims to demonstrate a digitally enabled, private provider-led model that expands access to both facility-based and home-based Tuberculosis Preventive Treatment (TPT) services for household contacts (HHCs) of persons with TB ( PwTB ) seeking care in the private sector, ensuring high initiation and completion rates in alignment with NTEP guidelines. The project will provide technical assistance to demonstrate across three high-burden districts of Mumbai ( Govandi , Sion and Kurla) in Maharashtra and two aspirational districts of Odisha (Kalahandi and Koraput), having substantial gaps in systematic contact listing and TPT initiation in private sector. The model integrates virtual TPT clinics, tele-consultation, standardized digital screening workflows, mobile diagnostic services, and doorstep delivery of TPT medicines to strengthen the identification, screening, and initiation of eligible household contacts on TPT. The project will operate under NTEP stewardship and leverage national digital platforms such as Ni- kshay and TB Arogya Saathi, engaging private hospitals and clinics, district and state NTEP teams, PPSA partners, digital and logistics agencies, and household contacts of TB patients to ensure seamless coordination and accountability throughout the TPT cascade.
