“Intensified case finding of tuberculosis among diabetes mellitus patients attending non-communicable disease clinic in a tertiary care hospital – An implementation research”
We found improvement in identification of TB cases using ICF approach with minimal resources. Thus, we recommend a support group to maintain and strengthen the ongoing activity. The challenges and solutions identified may help in optimizing the screening process. Implementing the activity in special clinics like oncology OPDs, nephrology OPDs, antenatal clinics can be recommended.
