The Challenge
For low-income families, tuberculosis is devastating. Treatment is long, medicines are strong, and missing work means missing meals. As a result, many patients abandon treatment—leading to relapse, drug resistance, and loss of life.

AMG’s Intervention
AMG designed a community-based TB care model that integrates medical treatment with nutrition, monitoring, and accessibility—ensuring patients complete treatment without risking family survival.

What We Did

• Supported 2,000 TB patients with monthly medicines and food rations
• Established and supported 600+ DOTS centers across 7 mandals in Guntur District
• Operated general hospitals, slum clinics, and mobile medical units
• Conducted regular health camps and follow-ups in rural and underserved areas

Impact

• Improved treatment adherence
• Faster recovery and return to work
• Reduced transmission within families and communities

Outcome
TB patients completed treatment with dignity—without choosing between health and hunger.
