Requests for Application
Pediatric tuberculosis remains a significant driver of childhood morbidity and mortality in India. According to estimates approximately 3.42 lakh children aged 0–14 years develop TB annually in India, accounting for about 6% of the total TB cases notified under National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP). Despite this substantial burden, pediatric TB continues to be underdiagnosed and underreported, with an estimated 56% gap between the number of children expected to have TB and those detected and notified.
