NATIONAL SECRETARIAT FOR TBPPM-LN, INDIA CHAPTER

About TBPPM-LN India Chapter
The Institute of Public Health (IPH) Bengaluru hosts the National Secretariat of the Tuberculosis Public Private Mix-Learning Network (TBPPM-LN) India chapter. The TBPPM LN India chapter is part of the Global TBPPM LN hosted at McGill University. This collaborative initiative aims to strengthen the fight against tuberculosis by fostering cooperation among Public Private Mix (PPM) stakeholders and practitioners.

At the heart of the TBPPM-LN India Chapter’s vision is the culture shift in the peer-to-peer communication between the various stakeholders in the TBPPM space in India to enable cross-learning. The TBPPM LN India Chapter secretariat will play a pivotal role in coordinating these efforts, ensuring a seamless exchange of ideas, best practices, and evidence-based insights to facilitate learning.

 

The TB Public Private Mix Learning Network (TBPPM-LN) India is an offshoot of the global TBPPM-LN that was initiated in 2021. The network aims to facilitate a dynamic exchange of expertise and best practices in private sector engagement for TB, promoting peer learning.
