Eliminating the catastrophic expenditure on TB patients and their families has been an important goal of the World Health Organisation's (WHO’s) END TB strategy.
Substance use has been one of the major reasons for non-adherence to TB treatment and therefore, the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) has implemented several initiatives for control and de-addiction of substance use in association with various other health programmes like the National Tobacco Control Programme (NTCP), Drug De-Addiction Programme (DDAP), etc.
NTEP has also included referral services to de-addiction facilities for TB patients as a part of the ‘Standards for TB Care in India (STCI)'.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) refers to the set of activities used to assess the progress of a programme towards specific objectives and address weaknesses in the programme design.
Monitoring
It is a systematic, ongoing collection, collation, analysis and interpretation of the data to detect deviations from the expected norms, followed by dissemination of feedback information for corrective actions.
Significance of Monitoring
The Adherence Summary dashboard is designed primarily for treatment supporters and field staff to help them monitor the day to day adherence statistics of their patients and incorporate necessary actions wherever required. This dashboard enables staff at district level hierarchies and below to view real-time adherence information of all patients on treatment.
The adherence summary dashboard is available in both Ni-kshay web portal as well as the mobile application.
Whenever a patient calls a toll-free line on the 99DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment, Short Course) envelope, they should have the following experience:
In total, the call is less than two seconds long. After this sequence, the Nikshay adherence dashboard will be updated with the adherence details.
Self-reporting adherence by dispensing pills and calling toll-free numbers
|
When patients dispense pills, they break through perforated flaps on the back of the envelope, revealing a hidden, unpredictable phone number. |

Initiating adherence monitoring of the patient on 99DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course) on Nikshay is done by the STS/ Health care provider initiating patient on treatment.
