About us

Ni-kshay SETU is an innovative digital learning platform designed to empower healthcare providers with the knowledge and tools necessary for effective tuberculosis (TB) care and management. The Ni-kshay SETU application was initially developed as part of the "Closing the Gaps in TB Care Cascade" project by the Indian Institute of Public Health, Gandhinagar (IIPHG).

With the guidance of Central TB Division, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and support of the iDEFEAT TB (Institutional Strengthening to Accelerate Actions for TB and Drug-Resistant TB) Project - The Union, Ni-kshay SETU has been enhanced with advanced features and innovative updates. The iDEFEAT TB project aims to strengthen TB-related institutions focusing on the programmatic and clinical management of TB and drug-resistant TB (DR-TB).

ManageTB India Application

"ManageTB India App" has been developed by a group of experts led by Dr. Rupak Singla at NITRD, wherein once various demographic, clinical, microbiological results, and pre-treatment investigation results, etc., are entered, it suggests an appropriate individualized regimen tailored for each TB patient, including drug dosages. It covers both DS-TB and DR-TB. It also provides guidance on principles of managing TB with various co-morbidities. Additionally, it advises private doctors on how they can link with the national program to get the prescribed medicines. It has been validated in the field and endorsed by the Central TB Division for use by doctors across India.

The ManageTB India app within Ni-kshay SETU was developed as part of enhancement initiatives, with additional support provided to the Indian Institute of Public Health, Gandhinagar (IIPHG) by TB Alliance.
