involving the private sector

The REACH PPM strategy aims at integrating and harnessing the synergies between the private and public health sectors, by supporting private practitioners to actively identify, diagnose and treat people with TB.

This initiative, which started with 30 health care providers, has evolved into a sustainable model, where REACH acts as an intermediary to provide TB care services. The main stakeholders in the initiative are private practitioners, private hospitals, patients, TB programme team and the community.

Today the REACH PPM model is an integral part of the Greater Chennai Corporation's TB Free Chennai initiative. REACH provides holistic TB care services through over 40 PPM hubs called Nakshatra Centres across Chennai.
