Mr. Jahangeer Alam, is a TB champion, works with Humana People to People India and has played a defining role in helping roll out a high impact interventions model to reach the urban unreached homeless and migratory people in Delhi, as well as in other places across India. Currently, he is raising the fund for more TB initiatives to support the urban marginalised populations in India.
The HPPI-led projects had displayed that we can optimize TB services for urban unhoused people with community-friendly and convenient outreach programs, high-quality screening, dynamic facilitation of service-utilization at the NTEP, need-based patient and family-centred care, and active engagement of community-members and multiple stakeholders.

This approach was appreciated by the state and central level NTEP and encouraged replication in other states.Table:
