City X Ray & Scan Clinic becomes the First Lab in Delhi-NCR to receive NTEP certification for First Line, Line Probe Assay (FL LPA) testing

城市X射线与扫描诊所成为德里NCR首家获得NTEP一线探针检测（FL LPA）认证的实验室

‘TB Free India’ Mission has been gaining traction with the participation of private sector in capacity building. Quality-certified diagnostic services by private sector labs are set to play a role of powerful catalyst in identifying ‘missing millions.’ The government has been taking several initiatives to expand its infrastructure to enhance capacity for the testing and quality-certified private sector labs are expected to provide further thrust to the Mission..

随着私营部门参与能力建设，“无结核病印度”特派团越来越受欢迎。私营部门实验室提供的高质量认证诊断服务将在识别“失踪数百万人”方面发挥强大的催化剂作用政府一直在采取多项举措，扩大其基础设施，以提高测试能力，质量认证的私营部门实验室有望为特派团提供进一步的推动力。。

According to the latest WHO Global TB Report, 3 million people globally were missed getting TB services in 2022. TB continues to infect 10 million people annually, killing 1.3 million. Despite global commitments to end TB by 2030 and India’s aim to eliminate it by 2025, progress is considerably dependent on robust infrastructure and capacity building.

。结核病每年继续感染1000万人，导致130万人死亡。尽管全球承诺到2030年结束结核病，印度的目标是到2025年消除结核病，但进展在很大程度上取决于强大的基础设施和能力建设。

The India TB Report 2024 shows a slight increase in TB incidence in 2023 to 27.8 lakh cases, with 3.2 lakh deaths.

NTEP has a vision of achieving a TB free India with strategies consisting of prevent, detect, treat, and build pillars for universal coverage and social protection. Diagnostic services under the NTEP are provided through a network of laboratories at three levels- National, State, and Facility. The various diagnostic tests provided include microscopy (ZN Smear), Rapid AFB, Culture and DST, cartridge based Molecular Test and Line Probe Assays..

NTEP的愿景是通过预防、检测、治疗和建立全民覆盖和社会保护的支柱等战略，实现印度无结核病。NTEP下的诊断服务通过国家，州和设施三级实验室网络提供。提供的各种诊断测试包括显微镜检查（锌涂片），快速AFB，培养和DST，基于药筒的分子测试和线探针测定。。

To align with the government’s efforts for ‘TB Free India’ in general and capacity building, the TB Lab at City X Ray & Scan Clinic, a leading diagnostic chain, underwent assessment and certification of quality reporting by NTEP and became the first laboratory in Delhi-NCR to receive NTEP certification for First Line, Line Probe Assay (FL LPA) testing..
