Magnitude of the problems caused by tuberculosis in India and worid wide is weii
documented. A number of researches been conducted in search of a solution and number
of projects been piloted in effective implementation of Tuberculosis control programme.
TB control has been a challenge unmet despite the fact that NTP was in place over three
decades and was revised due to global pressure and efforts are continued in
disseminating the facts that TB is curable, dr ugs and vaccines are available for treatment
and prevention.. According finding of some studies that though the patients knew that
TB is curable, requires prolonged regular treatment and irregularity' would lead to

Tuberculosis is among the most effective and cost effective of all diseases to treat yet it
had to be declared as Global emergence. It in India it is estimated that there are about
1440 people die of tuberculosis every day. It is also well known that this disease affects
tire poor more and it is evident that tire poverty status in India is further deteriorated by
globalization policies. Is weii kwon that the poor seek help from more that one place due
io various reasons and tins adversely affect treatment outcome and the patients pocket.
Information on health seeking behavior of the patients has already been studied in other
paits of India especially in Maharashtra and it is hoped that tliis study would bring in
some mor e insight in understanding the TB treatmentfrom tire patient’s perspective.

A study on Patients’perspectivesfl'i Tuberculosis Treatment and^the role ofjPrivate
Sector in prevention and Control of TB -1-

INTRODUCTION

Magnitude of the problems caused by tuberculosis in India and worldwide is well
documented. Resurgence of TB made WHO declare it a global emergency in 1993.
Tuberculosis is among the most effective and cost effective of all diseases to treat yet it
had to be declared as Global emergence. (WHO)
TB control has been a challenge unmet in India despite the fact that NTP was in place
over three decades and was revised due to global pressure, in India it is estimated that
about 1440 people die of tuberculosis every day. It is also well known that this disease
affects the poor more and it is also evident that the poverty status in India is further
affected adversely by globalization policies. Links with Poverty has been explicitly
acknowledged in the 1940 health policy and later it was hidden under the category
sociological problems. A number of researches have been conducted in search of a
solution and a number of projects been piloted for understanding effective
implementation strategies in prevention and control of the disease.

It is observed that the prevalence is evenly distributed among both the rural and urban
population. It is well kwon that the poor seek help from more that one place due to
various reasons and this adversely affected treatment outcome and the patient’s pocket.
Most people with chest symptoms first approach the private practitioner for help and it is
evident that they are not equipped to handle the problem effectively for various reasons.
Information on health seeking behavior of the patients has already been studied in other
parts of India especially in Maharashtra and it is hoped that this study would bring in
more insight in understanding TB treatment from patient’s perspective and the role of
private sector.
Problem statement
It is well known that TB is associated with poverty, illiteracy malnutrition and over
crowding. Treatment of TB puts on an enormous physical, economical, psychological,
and social pressure on the patient particularly the poor patient and his or her family.
What bothers most people suffering from TB is their cough, chest pain, fever loss of
weight and body ache. It is least of their concerns that they are excreting the bacilli in
sputum and are infecting others. There were instances when TB patients said that they
just wanted to die due to depression and in other instances the patients had to sell their
valuables to pay of for the treatment. It is estimated that on an average a. TB patient
spends about 5500 rupees for treatment apart from transport and other indirect costs. As
TB affect more the young and the adults in the productive age group, the economic loss
to the nation is calculated as 1000 corore man-hours.

Most of the TB patient seeks first help from a private practitioner chiefly because they
are easily accessible and available. Normally they approach within two weeks after
developing chest symptom and most of them are sent away with cough mixtures.
Affordability' is a question that arises later during treatment, which is one of the main
reasons that force the poor TB patients to become irregular in treatment for some time.
Some of the other reasons for discontinuing treatment are; priorities in the family, feeling
well, cannot leave work and come for treatment, unavailability of drugs in the center
when approached, side effects, staff attitude and distance. Poor nutrition, strong
medication and alcohol cause side effects such as nausea and dizziness that prevents a
patient from continuing treatment. Finding of a study revealed that patients who stayed
beyond 5 kms from the health centers were irregular with treatment. The support
available both family and community level to a person suffering from TB for enabling
him/her complete treatment is insignificant. Besides these the problem of stigma still
persists and has its negative impact. TB patients face rejection by neighbors, employers
and coworkers. Young brides who developed symptoms are returned to their homes as
unfit to bear children, their dowries forfeited.
As a reslut of these problems many of them become MDR ( Multi Drug Resistance)
MDR means more a death trap to person who has defaulted treatment. Cost of treating
MDR is 100 times more. If dropped from treatment due to this factor, the consequences
are that the loss to the family in incalculable and the patient would have transmitted the
disease to many other people at least 10 to 15 before their death. It is 30 years since a
new drug has been brought into market and the chances in the near future are very
remote. Understanding personal experiences of the patients taking treatment, and factors
that affect both at family and community level would help in planning an appropriate
strategy for effective prevention and control of the disease.

India bears two third of the burden of the problem ofTB in the world of which 60 per
cent of the TB patients are managed by the private practitioners. In India there are about a
million registered doctors who are involved in private practice. There are many others
who trained and untrained from non-allopathic system of medicine are also involved in
private practice. Attractive monitory benefit has been the driving force behind setting up
practice for many of them.
Not much information is available on patient attending the private clinics, the diagnosis
procedure, treatment regimen used, adherence to treatment in Karnataka, However the
information available of the situation elsewhere show's that most of the private
practitioners prefer x-ray to sputum smear for diagnosis which is unnecessary for
diagnosing most cases. About treatment though many of them used dings specified under
the short course chemotherapy, they were inappropriate with the combination and
duration. A study conducted in Mumbai revealed that the private practitioners have used
80 to 90 combination of the dings prescribed under SCC. Experience’s of a few' of the
private practitioners who had knowledge of diagnostic procedures, treatment regimens
and had a better relationship with the patient which resulted in educating and motivating
them have shown better results.

The problems with the private practitioners have been that their knowledge and
experience for managing TB is inadequate. Most of the private practitioners from both
the system of medicines are dependant on medical representatives for upgrading their
knowledge. Many of the private practitioners from non-allopathic system of medicine
have learnt allopathy and were practicing independently or under a senior allopathic
practitioner. Many of them are not aware existence of public health services for
tuberculosis and those who are aware have negative attitude towards the functioning of
public health services that prevents them from referring the TB patient there. However
some of them do have the compassion to send the patient to the public health service
when they discover the inability of the patients to pay for their service. It is understood
that stigma attached to the disease prevents some of them from disclosing the diagnosis to
their patients.

Health seeking behavior has been studied in many part of the country and it is evident
that most of the TB patients first seek help from the private practitioner^^Ss
recommended that the involvement of private sector in RNTCP would be crucial for
effective and prevention and control of the disease. Therefore it is important to leant form
their experiences, strengths, weaknesses and their perspectives.

Aim:

Conduct a sociological enquiiy on the impact of tuberculosis treatment and the to
understand the role of private practitioners in prevention and control of the disease.
OBJECTIVES:

a Assess the socio economic status of the patients.
a. Gain an understanding of patients perception onTB
b. Understand the treatment seeking behavior of the patients
c. Understand the impact of the disease and the treatment on their lives and the
adjustment they need to make towards this.
METHODOLOGY
Patients under the RNTCP programme implemented through the Health Centers of
BMP(Bangalore Mahanagara Palike) would be identified. Information would be collected
using
in-depth interview and focus group discussion techniques. They would be
selected using the cross sectional method from among the urban poor. Likewise the
private practioners located in and around the slums of Bangalore would be identified for
in depth interviews and if possible a few focus group discussions would be held with
them.

population. It is well kwon that the poor seek help from more that one place due to
various reasons and this adversely affected treatment outcome and the patient’s pocket.
Information on health seeking behavior and the patients perspective regarding the
treatment has already been studied in other parts of India especially in Maharashtra and
it is hoped that this study would bring in more insight in understanding TB treatment
from patient’s perspective.

Problem statement
It is well known that TB is associated with poverty, illiteracy malnutrition and over
crowding. Treatment of TB puts on an enormous physical, economical, psychological,
and social pressure on the patient particularly the poor patient and his or her family.
What bothers most people suffering from TB is their cough, chest pain, and fever loss of
weight and body ache. It is least of their concerns that they ar e excreting the bacilli in
sputum and are infecting others. There-were instances when TB patients said that they
just wanted to die due to depression and in other instances the patients had to sell their
valuables to pay offer the treatment. It is estimated that on an average a TO patient
spends about 5500 rupees for treatment apart from transport and other indirect costs. As
TB affect more the young and the adults in the productive age group, the economic loss
to the nation is calculated as 1000 crore man-hours.

Most of the TB patient seeks first help from a private practitioner chiefly because they
are easily accessible and available. Normally they approach within two weeks after
developing chest symptom and most of them are sent away with cough mixtures.
Affordability is a question that arises later during treatment, which is one of the main
reasons that force the poor TO patients to become irregular in treatment for some time.

i

Some of the other reasons for discontinuing treatment are; priorities in the family, feeling
well, cannot leave work and come for treatment, unavailability of drugs in the center
when approached, side effects, staff attitude and distance. Poor nutrition, strong
medication and alcohol caused side effects such as nausea and dizziness also prevents a
few patients from continuing treatment. Finding of a study revealed that patients who
stayed beyond 5 kms from the health centers were irregular with treatment. The support
available both family and community level'lo a person suffering from TB for enabling
him/her complete treatment is insignificant. Besides these the problem of stigma still
persists and has its negative impact. TB patients face rejection by neighbors, employers
and coworkers. Young brides who developed symptoms are returned to their homes as
unfit to bear-children, their dowries forfeited.

As a result of these problems many of them become MDR (Multi Drug Resistance) MDR
means more a death trap to person who has defaulted treatment. Cost of treating MDR is
100 times more. If dropped from treatment due to this factor, the consequences are that
the loss to the family in incalculable and the patient would have transmitted the disease to
many other people at least 10 to 15 before their death. It is 30 years since a new drug has
been brought into market and the chances in the near future are very remote.
Understanding personal experiences of the patients talcing treatment, and factors that
affect both at family and community level would help in planning an appropriate strategy
for effective prevention and control of the disease.

Aim:
To understand the patients perspective regarding TB treatment provided by the Bangalore
Mahanagara Palike under the RNTCP(Revised National Tuberculosis Control
Programme) using DOTS ( Directly Observed Treatment, Short course) approach.

OBJECTIVES:

1.

Assess the socio economic status of the patients.

2.

Gain an understanding of patients perception on TB

3.

Understand the treatment seeking behavior of the patients

4.

Understand the impact ofthe disease and the treatment on their lives and the adjustment
they need to make towards this.

Methodology
Patients under the RNTCP programme implemented through the Health Centers of BMP
(Bangalore Mahanagara Palike) would be identified. Information would be collected
using
in-depth interview and focus group discussion techniques. They wquld be
selected using the cross sectional method from among the urban poor.

As mentioned a meeting was held with the Medical Officer in -charge of the
Tuberculosis control programme with BMP( Bangalore Mahanagara Palike) and gained
an understanding of the programme. It is understood that the BMP has 7 TB units and
under each TB unit there are 5-6 Microscopic Centers spread around the city.. The
treatment is provided through about 132 health centers including the health centers of the
IPPVUI (India Population Project) A visit was made to all the 7 TB units and list of 701
patients who have registered with them during the first quarter that is from January to
March 2001 was procured. These are the details about the patients that are available, TB.
No. Date of registration, age, sex, Name of treatment center, category, type, status ( new,
defaulters, dropout and others. It decided with this information available, to select 100
patients and conduct an in-depth interview for understanding their perspectives.

A study on Patients perspectives regarding TB treatment under
RNTCP in Bangalore Mahanagara Paiike

’ s"s tr O d 55 € i i w a i

Magnitude of the problems caused by tuberculosis in India and worldwide is
well documented. Resurgence of TB made WHO declare it a global emergency
in 1-993. .'tuberculosis is among the most effective and cost effective of all
diseases.to treat yet it had to be declared as Global emergence..(WHO) ? •

TB control has been a challenge unmet in India despite the fact that NTP
was in place over three decades and was revised due to global pressure. In
India it is estimated that about 1440 people die of tuberculosis every day. It
is also well known that this disease affects the poor more.-asd It is also
evident that the poverty status in India is further affected adversely by
globalization policies. Links with Poverty has been explicitly acknowledged in
the 1940 health policy and later it was liidden wider the category sociological
problems^ A number of researches have been conducted in search of a
solution and a number of projects been piloted for understanding effective
implementation strategies in prevention and control of the disease.

u4e-ebserved--that 'Elie prevalence, is evenly distributed among both, the rural
and urban population. It is well kwon that the poor seek help from more thari'1
one place due to various reasons and this adversely affected treatment
outcome and the patient's pocket. Information on health seeking behavior
and the patients' perspective regarding the treatment has already been
studied in other parts of India especially in Maharashtra, and it is hoped that
tliis study would bring in more insight in understanding TB treatment from
patient's perspective.

(Problem statement
It is well known that TB is associated with poverty, .illiteracy, malnutrition
and over-crowding. Treatment of TB puts on an enormous physical.
economical, psychological, and social pressure on the patient particularly the.
poor patient and his or her family. What bothers most people suffering from
TB is their cough, chest pain, and fever^loss of weight and body ache. It is
least of their concerns that they are excreting the bacilli in sputum and are
infecting others. There were instances when TB patients said that they just
wanted to die due. to depression and in other instances the patients had to
sell their valuables to pay fit'for the treatment. It is estimated that on an
average a TB patient spends about 51500 rupees for treatment apart from
transport and other indirect costs. As TB affect more the young and the

1

w

adults in the productive age group, the economic loss to the nation is
calculated as 1000 crore man-hours.

Most of the TB patients seeks first help from a private practitioner chiefly
because they are easily accessible and available. Normally they approach
within two weeks after developing chest symptom and most of them are sent
away with cough mixtiu’es. Affordability is a question that arises later
during treatment,, which is one of the main reasons that force the poor TB
patients to become irregular in treatment for some time. Some of the. other
reasons lor discontinuing' treatment arei priorities in the family, feeling well,
cannot leave work and come for treatment, unavailability of drugs in the
center when approached, side effects, staff attitude and distance. Poor
nutrition, strong medication and alcohol caused side effects such as nausea
and dizziness; also prevents a lew patients from continuing treatment.
Finding of a study revealed that patients who stayed beyond 5 kins from the
health centers were irregular with treatment. The support available,both
family and community level to a person suffering from TB for enabling
min/ner complete treatment is insignificant. Besides these the problem of
stigma still persists and has its negative impact. TB patients face rejection by
neighoors, employers and coworkers, \oung brides who developed symptoms
are returned to their homes as unfit to bear children, their dowries forfeited.
As a result of these problems many of them become MDR (Multi Drug
Resistance), MDR means more a death trap to person who has defaulted
treatment. Cost of treating MDR is 100 times more. If dropped from
treatment uue to tliis factor, the consequences are that the loss to the family
irt incalculable and the patient would have transmitted the disease to many
other people at least 10 to 15,before their death. It is 30 years since a new
drug has been brought into market and the chances in the near future are.
very remote. Understanding personal experiences of the patients taking
treatment, and factors that affect both at family and community level would
help in planning an appropriate strategy for effective prevention and control
of the disease.

Aim:
To understand the patient’s perspective regarding TB treatment provided by
the Bangalore Ivlahanagara Palike under the RNTCP (Revised National
Tuberculosis Control Programme) using DOTS (Directly Observed
Treatment. Short- course) approach.

OBJECTIVES:

Primary
1.

Gain an understanding of the patient perception on TB Treatment, among
the urban poor people.

Secondary
1.Understand ihe treatment seeking behavior

2.Understand the impact of the disease and their treatment on their lives and
the adjustment they nee', to make.

iVi

Ho av

Patients under the RNTCP programme implemented through the Health
Centers of BMP (Bangalore Mahanagara Palike) would be identified.
Information would be collected using
in-depth interview technique.
They would be selected using the cross sectional method from among the
urban poor.
-\s._meniioned a meeting was held with the Medical Officer in -charge of the
Tuberculosis control programme with BMP -(Bangalore Mahanagara Palike)and gamed an understanding of the programme. It-is. understood that theBMP has 7 TB units and under each TB unit there are 5-6 Microscopic
Centers spread around the city. rl he treatment is provided through about 132
health centers including the health centers of the 1PPV111 (India Population
Project),a*visit was made to all the 7 TB units and list of 782 patients who
have registered with them during the first quarter that is from January to
March 2001 was obtained.

Following are the details that were available about the patients: TB. No..
Bate of registration, age, sex, Name of treatment center, category, type,
status (new, defaulters, dropout and others). The information was fed into
the computers and using the Microsoft Excel programme the data was sorted
using the following three key variables: age, sex and type. The data was
further sorted according to age, wlrich was divided into, to four categories viz;
0- 5 years, 6-18 year’s, 19 - 45 years and 45 years and above. From this
category every eighth person was selected applying a simple random
technique. 97 patients’ names were selected and added 14 patients from the
0-5 categories making trie final list of patienl? selected for the study to 111. It

3

was decided to select all the 11 children below the age of 6 years to cover
under the study as the number available after applying sampling technique
,-o. would too less to represent.
