Objectives of our visit:
Background:
It was established as a T.B. Hospital in 1995. In 1962, it was upgraded as Institute of Chest
and Cardiac Hospital. First it initiated Post-graduation Degree and then, in 1992, a
Development Project was added.
In 2002, it was further upgraded as National Institute of Disease of the Chest and Cardiac
Hospital.
In 2005, an additional service was added. Thus it has another sector named National Asthma
Centre.
Objectives:
Spirometry
FEV1
Allergy and Broncho-provocational test
Rigid Bronchoscopy
Mediastinoscopy
Lung biopsy
Radiology and Imaging
Bronchogram
3. Out-patient Service Department.
4. Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course (DOTS) Centre.
5. Asthma Centre.

Research:
The institute also provides some individual services and collaborative studies.

Program Strategy:
The program initially adopted the WHO-DOTS strategy which consisted of the five
components of strong political will and administrative commitment, diagnosis by quality
assured sputum smear microscopy, uninterrupted supply of quality assured Short Course
chemotherapy drugs, Directly Observed Treatment (DOT) and systematic monitoring and
Accountability. The DOTS strategy achieved and sustained the target detection rate of 70%
of all estimated cases and a cure rate of 85% in new cases and led to the decrease in incidence
of TB in the country.
With progress in achieving objectives outlined in the DOTS Strategy of the 11th Five year
Plan, the program defined the new targets of Universal Access to TB care. Under the 12th
Five Year Plan of Government of Bangladesh as the National Strategic Plan for 2012–17, the
plan hopes to achieve detection of at-least 90% the total estimated cases and a cure rate of
90% in new and 85% in re-treatment cases.
Early identification of all infectious TB cases. Improved integration with the general
health system, and leverage field staff for home-based case finding.
Improve communication and outreach
Screening clinically and socially vulnerable risk groups for TB.
Develop improved sputum collection and transportation systems.
Deployment of higher-sensitivity diagnostic tests for TB suspects (and incorporate
new tests) and decentralized Drug Susceptibility Testing (DST) services
Catch patients already diagnosed through notification from all sources, improved
referral for treatment mechanisms, and deployment of laboratory and private provider
notification.
Activities will aim at early, rapid TB diagnosis with high sensitivity tests for HIV-
infected TB suspects and Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) for all HIV-infected TB
patients, with transport support.
Integration with health systems:
Integrating the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) with the
overall health system will increase effectiveness and efficiencies of TB care and
control which has been depicted in the picture.
In rural areas the RNTCP can focus integration through the National Rural Health
Mission.
In urban areas the RNTCP can integrate through the private sector and the evolving
National Urban Health Mission.
Based on results from a recent study, RNTCP has issued guidelines to states on daily
treatment for tuberculosis. The daily regimen will replace the existing alternate day (thrice
weekly) regimen from January - February 2016 in selected states. The daily regimen has
shown to be effective in reducing relapse rates and drug-resistance.
Standardized treatment regimens are one of the pillars of the DOTS strategy. Isoniazid,
Rifampicin, Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol, and Streptomycin are the primary anti-tubercular
drugs used. Most DOTS regimens have thrice-weekly schedules and typically last for six to
nine months, with an initial intensive phase and a continuation phase.
Based on the nature/severity of the disease and the patient's exposure to previous anti-
tubercular treatments, RNTCP classifies tuberculosis patients into two treatment categories–
Four drugs at Thrice-weekly Schedule for Five drugs at thrice-weekly Schedule for
2 months Intensive phase Two drugs at initial 2 months followed by Four drugs for
Thrice-Weekly Schedule for remaining 4 next 1 month Intensive phase. Three drugs
months continuation phase. at Thrice-weekly Schedule for remaining 5
months continuation phase.
