IndianOil has committed to support the National TB elimination Program (NTEP) in India by providing an enabling environment through integrated and prioritized intervention with City Coordination Committees, District Health Societies, Technical support groups, etc., in each of the 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh and 23 districts in Punjab.

The program’s key objective will be to screen and test the entire population of UP and Punjab every year for the next three years. Once patients are notified, their treatment will continue as per the protocol of the National TB Elimination Program.

TB continues to be one of India’s severest health challenges. India has a large number of ‘missing’ cases every year that are not detected or reported.

To fulfill the Prime Minister’s vision, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, under the aegis of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, in collaboration with Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, is joining the “Jan Andolan” of “TB Mukt Bharat”.

IndianOil, as a conscious corporate citizen, having a sizable presence in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab has decided to play a vital role in connecting the dots of demand aggregation, supply-side strengthening, and enabling the environment.

In collaboration with the state government, demand aggregation (identification of patients) will be supported by running information, education & communication (IEC) programs in the community and strengthening ASHA, ANM and AWW workers in the state by incentivising them for accurate screening of population. Supply-side strengthening (strengthening infrastructure) will be done through creating more facilities for testing by providing machines at block level and medicine delivery mechanism through mobile vans, etc.

As part of its core value of care, IndianOil has always been committed to serve the people of India. From providing liquid medical oxygen in the second surge of the pandemic, ensuring vaccination of lakhs of its channel partners and ensuring uninterrupted supply lines of vital petroleum products during the pandemic, ‘Pehle India Phir Oil’ has always been IndianOil’s guiding mantra.
