Linking them to welfare schemes is also an important part of advocacy at TB Alert India. The community is also strengthened to access their rights.

  • Government institutions - to address the needs of people diagnosed with TB.
  • General community members - to form action groups and enable people diagnosed with TB live in a stigma free environment and support them to access their health rights.
  • People living with TB - to form pressure groups and guide them to fight for their rights and needs.
