WHO Collaborating Centre in Tuberculosis Training National Institute of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases has been designated by the WHO as a WHO Collaborating Centre in Tuberculosis Training on 06 November 2014 (WHOCC No. IND-128) The NITRD-WHO CC was opened on World TB Day 2015 by Dr. Jagdish Prasad, Director General of Health Services (GOI), Dr. Md. Khurshid Alam Hyder, Regional Adviser, Tuberculosis, WHO-SEARO and Dr Sreenivas A.N., National Program Officer-TB, WHO India. Dr. Rohit Sarin, Director, NITRD, is the head of this Centre and the faculty from the different clinical, laboratory and public health departments of the Institute are participating members. WHO would be the technical partner for all activities carried out under the WHOCC. The current designation is for a period of four years. There are two key components to the NITRD-WHO collaborative activities: I. Human resource development and dissemination of knowledge and skills in TB Control II. Participation in research to contribute to WHO s evidence based strategies. As part of this WHOCC, NITRD would enhance its existing training activities and take a lead role in conducting training programs on various aspects of TB on a regular basis, both for India and the Region. Addressing training needs of the Region would be an important objective of this Centre s activities. A wide range of TB training programs would be offered under this venture including: i) Clinical management of Drug resistant TB (DR-TB) ii) Programmatic management of DR-TB iii) HIV-TB case management iv) Airborne infection control and v) Workshops on other diverse aspects of TB and TB control

Basic and advanced workshops in mycobacteriological laboratory methods would be a distinctive activity under this collaboration. The laboratory trainings would cover the entire breadth of TB diagnostics including microscopy, solid and liquid culture techniques (for both first and second line anti-tb drugs) and even latest molecular diagnostic methods like LPA and Cartridge based Nucleic Acid Tests. Training programs for different cadres for health care workers would be provided, tailoring to the needs of the trainees. NITRD would also undertake research focussed on development of novel rapid tests for diagnosis of TB, MDR-TB and XDR-TB as part of the WHO collaborative activities. Schedules of different training programs planned at NITRD under this WHO CC are given in the NITRD-WHOCC Training Schedules booklet.
