Q1. It was April 2017 and 30 tuberculosis (TB) survivors were participating in a ---------1--------- group exercise at a workshop in New Delhi. They were identifying barriers that people with TB — like themselves — commonly faced in ----------2--------- health information and services. Each TB survivor brought his/her own personal experience to the discussion — the difficulties in getting a clear ---------3----------, doctor-shopping, the lack of information on what the treatment involved, having to deal with side-effects, the loss of income, to name a few. While TB had impacted each of their lives differently, they were all -------4-------- in identifying one cross-cutting barrier — stigma and its ---------5--------- companion, discrimination. In the two years since, the team at REACH, an organisation working on TB since 1998, has witnessed similar scenes play out at other workshops around the country. Over 300 TB survivors from across India — all of whom attended trainings to help them become powerful TB champions and advocates — described stigma as an -----------6------------- barrier in accessing TB services.

And we cannot end stigma and discrimination if we do not improve public understanding of TB — that it is ----------9-----------, that pulmonary or lung TB spreads through air, that a person with TB becomes non-infectious soon after starting treatment and that extra-pulmonary TB (TB that affects parts of the body other than the lungs) is not infectious. Even as the government steps up investment in new tools and -----------10------------- service delivery systems, we must make sure that stigma and discrimination are not left out of global, national and local plans to end TB.
