Key Impacts
Integrated NCD and TB screening to improve active case finding in India
NCD Screening and the involvement of community health workers is crucial for mobilization of targeted populations for community ACF. Lower footfalls in the absence of NCD indicate that stand alone ACF camps do not adequately serve the community needs - integrated health camp approach targeting the determinants of TB should be the default ACF design.
