The “It’s a FIGHtbACK” Tuberculosis Elimination Programme is a comprehensive CSR initiative led by Artemis Hospitals, aimed at reducing the burden of tuberculosis (TB) in Gurugram, particularly in urban migrant slums and rural villages. This project focuses on community-driven strategies to increase TB awareness, improve diagnosis and treatment adherence, and ultimately contribute to the nationwide goal of eliminating TB by 2025.
Objective
The initiative is dedicated to reducing the transmission of TB and related diseases among vulnerable populations across four villages in Gurugram. By promoting early diagnosis and ensuring treatment adherence, the program aims to address health challenges effectively. Additionally, it emphasizes long-term community engagement, awareness building, and empowerment to create a sustainable impact on public health and improve overall well-being in these communities.
Target Population: Approximately 45,000 people across Manesar, Bas Kushla, Bhorakalan, and Aliyar Dhana in Gurugram.
The program uses Social and Behavioural Change (SBC) strategies and establishes TB Task Forces to drive local TB elimination and support patients.
The program holds monthly health camps to detect TB and other conditions while promoting prevention, treatment adherence, and stigma reduction.
The program involves active TB screening and contact tracing within households, along with providing nutritional support and counseling to TB-positive patients and their families.
