About SAATHII: Solidarity and Action Against the HIV Infection in India (SAATHII) is a registered non-profit organization established with the vision of ensuring universal access to healthcare, justice, and social protection for socio-economically marginalized women and children, communities affected by HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, and individuals marginalized on the basis of their sexuality and gender identity. Headquartered in Chennai and supported by nine regional offices across India, SAATHII works at national, state, and community levels to strengthen health systems and improve equitable access to quality services. Through strategic partnerships with government agencies, civil society organizations, communities, and development partners, SAATHII advances its mission through technical assistance, capacity building, research, advocacy, knowledge management, information dissemination, and evidence-based programme implementation.
About Project: SAATHII is implementing a project to strengthen the integration of Tuberculosis (TB) screening, diagnosis, treatment, and care within maternal health services for pregnant and postpartum women across selected districts in West Bengal, Odisha, Manipur, and Haryana. The project seeks to address the persistent gap in TB detection and treatment among this vulnerable population by embedding comprehensive TB services within existing antenatal and postnatal care platforms. Working closely with the Central TB Division, National Health Mission, State TB Divisions, district health authorities, frontline health workers, and private healthcare providers, the initiative aims to strengthen systematic screening, referral mechanisms, treatment initiation, and continuity of care. Through the implementation and documentation of practical, scalable, and sustainable service delivery models, the project will generate evidence and best practices to support wider adoption and institutionalization of integrated TB–maternal health services within government health systems.
