    I see that the program has been more effective because work has been done with people’s representatives and in close coordination. One indication of this is the large number of people’s representatives who are involved in this program. I wish to thank them for this effort.

    Deputy Mayor, KMC

    If both those seeking treatment and those providing services undertake their responsibilities honestly, we can be free of tuberculosis, or any disease for that matter. What we want to build is a healthy metropolitan city.

    Nucche Kaji Dangol

    Ward Chairperson, KMC-18

    The program has been launched in Kathmandu, because the urban-centered results will provide us a basis for extending it outside the capital, and in all seven provinces of the country.

    In the first phase, we have organized the screening camps targeting populations in eight wards, where there are unsafe settlements and slum areas. We have plans to do screenings in other wards in the second phase.

    Sajina Maharjan

    Head of Health Division, Kathmandu Metropolitan City

    Nepal has been undertaking efforts in TB control in accordance with its international commitments to end the tuberculosis pandemic by 2035 and to eradicate the TB by 2050. For attaining this goal, the program of active TB case finding in communities and bringing those diagnosed under treatment is very important. The campaign is also important in terms of bridging the notification gap.

    Dr. Prajwol Shrestha

    Director, National Tuberculosis Control Centre

    We estimate about age of 20 in Nepal most probably about half of them is already infected with TB. That means if they have problem of stress or change of the nutrition whatever they may develop TB. In total if you infected 10 percent of them develop lifetime.

    Dr. Akira Shimouchi

    Project Director, JATA-Nepal

    People need health and education. First, we need health, without health education is not very useful. If we are unhealthy, there is no benefit of having wealth. The main need is good health. That is why this program of yours is very good.

    COVID infections took an alarming turn after one case was discovered at Teku Hospital. It had led to lockdowns. Here we have 69,000 people with tuberculosis every year. So, you can make your own estimates, think about how many people with TB we are adding every day. And if we do not give enough attention on time, this could result in another alarming situation. This is why (the program) is very important to ensure timely detection of infections and to bring people under treatment.
