The co-operation of non-governmental agencies which are generally represented through TB Associations is considered essential in making domiciliary service programmes successful in all aspects. It is recognised that the government has not been able to ensure an adequate supply of treatment drugs. Even when an adequate supply exists, there is a problem in getting these drugs to individual patients and ensuring that they take the drugs regularly for the prescribed period. Therefore, these non-governmental organisations can help in the distribution of drugs, in monitoring drug intake and checking drug default. They can organise constructive programs yielding tangible results such as the TB Seals Campaign. It is suggested that each district have a set of voluntary or paid workers who would assist in the above activities. For the TB control programme to be successful, there should be active co-operation and partnership between official and non-official organisations and, the TB associations should re-orient their programme in order to fit in with the scheme for domiciliary treatment of TB patients.
