I appreciate the scope of projects advancing health that Share India has undertaken and their potential positive impact, particularly the development of 3D-printed advanced prosthesis Sukhfit 9, aiming to make it accessible to more people in India

I think this is the first effort in the entire country where we went about screening all women PLHIV patients under the AP SACS, in association with NHM and APVP. When we first designed it, it was not very clear how we would go about it. So we went on the ground, did some initial screening, came back, and refined our approach. Today, I think we have a comprehensive cancer care program running on the ground for nearly one lakh women living with HIV , thanks to the efforts of the CDC and SHARE INDIA team.

The e-platform has enhanced the quality of learning. It is essential to share knowledge, experience, issues, and challenges to build strong relationships between providers and experts and maintain session quality. I acknowledge and appreciate the leadership at NACO & CTD and the teams at NITRD, CDC, SHARE INDIA, ECHO India, CoEs, and ARTCs for making e-NISCHIT successful. This should be shared as a best practice not only in India but across regions where CDC works.

I congratulate the NITRD and SHARE INDIA teams for achieving this milestone. The risk of developing TB is nearly 20 times higher among PLHIV and is associated with unfavourable outcomes. This requires development of specific skills to manage complicated cases. I support the expansion of e-NISCHIT to other geographies so that difficult-to-treat cases are managed appropriately by ART teams.

I appreciate NITRD, SHARE INDIA, and ECHO India for reaching the milestone of 100 sessions. Case-based discussions support ARTC staff in managing HIV-TB comorbid cases effectively. Expanding this platform to include other HIV comorbidities will further strengthen telemedicine and teleconsultation.
