Tuberculosis Homes

Specialized care for homeless TB patients — ensuring DOTS therapy completion, proper nutrition, and medical monitoring in a clean, safe residential environment.

TB & the Destitute: A Vicious Cycle

Tuberculosis and poverty are deeply intertwined. Homeless individuals are both highly vulnerable to contracting TB (due to malnutrition and exposure) and unable to complete treatment (which requires 6–9 months of consistent medication and adequate nutrition). Incomplete treatment leads to drug-resistant TB — one of India's greatest public health crises.

Apna Ghar breaks this cycle by providing a stable residential environment where destitute TB patients can complete their full treatment course. Our 63+ TB residents receive DOTS therapy, four high-nutrition meals daily, medical monitoring, and full residential support — ensuring no treatment dropout.

Our TB Care Protocol

01

Admission & Diagnosis

All residents with suspected TB are tested immediately. Sputum microscopy and X-rays arranged through partnering government hospitals and labs.

02

DOTS Therapy

Directly Observed Treatment Short-course (DOTS) administered by trained staff. Every dose watched and recorded to ensure 100% adherence.

03

High-Nutrition Diet

TB treatment requires increased caloric intake. Special high-protein, high-calorie diet: 4 meals + milk + eggs + protein supplements daily.

04

Isolation Protocols

Active TB cases housed in separate, well-ventilated wards. N95 protection for care staff. Cross-infection prevention strictly maintained.

05

Medical Monitoring

Monthly sputum tests to monitor treatment progress. Chest X-rays at 2, 5, and 6 months. Specialist referrals for MDR/XDR TB if needed.

06

Treatment Completion & Rehab

Upon cure, residents are offered rehabilitation — family tracing, skill development, or continued care depending on individual circumstances.
