Abstract EN
Objective.
To identify the challenges encountered by private health care providers (PHCP) to notify tuberculosis cases through a programme developed web-based portal mechanism called “NIKSHAY.” Study Design.
It is a descriptive qualitative study conducted at two revised national tuberculosis control programme (RNTCP) districts of New Delhi.
The study included in-depth interviews of PHCP registered with “NIKSHAY” and RNTCP programme personnel.
Grounded theory was used to conceptualise the latent social patterns in implementation of tuberculosis case notification process and promptly identifying their challenges.
Results.
The analysis resulted in identification of three broad themes: (a) system implementation by RNTCP: it emphasizes the TB notification process by the RNTCP programme personnel; (b) challenges faced by PHCP for TB notification with five different subthemes; and (c) perceived gaps and suggestions: to improvise the TB notification process for the private health sector.
The challenges encountered by PHCP were mainly related to unsystematic planning and suboptimal implementation by programme personnel at the state and district level.
The PHCP lacked clarity on the need for TB notification.
Conclusion.
Implementation of TB notification among private health care providers requires systematic planning by the programme personnel.
The process should be user-friendly with additional benefits to the patients.
