Abstract

 Background of the Study: Despite sufficient funding by the Government of India, tuberculosis (TB) still remains one of the most efficient and relentless killers of Indian society. This can be attributed to lack of attention to the role of social determinants of TB, which are usually overshadowed by focusing more on diagnostic and treatment aspects. Thus it is required not only to invest in strengthening diagnostic and treatment aspects of tuberculosis control programs, but also to act on its social determinants. Paradoxically qualitative analysis of this issue has not been systemically reviewed to bring out deep-rooted connections TB and social determinants of health.Objectives: To explore the perspective of TB patients and their family members on tuberculosis and its related social determinants together with patient experiences, meanings, behaviour and impact.
