Job Openings for B.Pharm or M.Pharm in Tuberculosis research at National Tuberculosis Institute
Tuberculosis (TB) has always been recognized as an important Public Health problem. The ICMR survey of 1955-58 showed that there were 4 sputum smear positive cases and 16 radiologically positive cases of pulmonary TB per 1000 population and this problem was equally distributed in rural and urban areas. Considering the magnitude of the problem, a need was felt for formulating a programme addressing these issues. Hence, the NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS INSTITUTE was established in 1959 at Bangalore by the Government of India, in the AVALON building made available by erstwhile Maharaja of Mysore.
