Project and Position Background

 

India has the highest burden of Tuberculosis (TB) in the world, accounting for more than 27% of the global TB incidence. The National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) has outlined an ambitious agenda of eliminating tuberculosis by the year 2025; to that end, diagnosing and treating the missing cases is critical.

 

Project FOSTER seeks to strengthen NTEP’s linkages with select departments at tertiary facilities (Rheumatology, Nephrology), dialysis centers, and organ recipients. FOSTER will improve notification of cases of active and latent TB, support for people living with TB (PLTB) and the original health condition, and seamless continuation of care for healthcare-seeking migrants.

 

The Operations Lead will lead the design and implementation of operational and research activities fundamental to the project, and take a lead on consolidating insights generated on patient pathways, behaviors, system incentives and operational issues which would be key to inform program design and strategy for subsequent scale-up.
