For the first time in history, Nepal Tuberculosis Centre<\/a> has started conducting a survey to collect factual data on tuberculosis patients.<\/p>\n

The statistics show that around 44,000 new tuberculosis patients are discovered each year in the country. However, the Centre has a tentative calculation of around 58,000-60,000 new tuberculosis patients.<\/p>\n

Why it matters: <\/strong><\/h4>\n

The factual data of tuberculosis patients collected from the survey will aid in the preparation of a plan for their treatment.<\/p>\n

  • He said that the survey has been started to find out the real conditions of tuberculosis affected people through a modern digital technology by reaching out to 57,610 people, making 99 different clusters in 58 districts, as it has been carried out as a pilot program in three districts \u2013 Bhaktapur, Sindhuli and Dolakha.<\/li>\n
  • \u201cThe survey would be carried out in additional 55 districts where 60,000 people would undergo examination through chest x-ray and cough test. A real data of tuberculosis patients would be gathered from the survey.\u201d, said Anil Thapa, Survey Coordinator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The Details:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
      \n
    • The government of Nepal has provided Rs. 230 million, Global Fund has provided Rs. 170 million and Lung Health Foundation of Norway has provided Rs. 30 million for the survey.<\/li>\n
