Treating 3500 poor TB patients in India & Cambodia

By Sandeep Ahuja | CEO

Dear Friend,

You will be excited to hear that CSIS, The Center for Strategic and International Studies, has not only lauded Operation ASHA’s work but also declared that its innovative solution is the only way towards getting rid of TB, a deadly epidemic. CSIS is the world’s top bipartisan international security think tank.

India has more than 27% of the world’s TB burden, says CSIS. Their star reporter carried out extensive research in India to understand why a curable disease is spreading like wildfire, inspite of new drugs and new diagnostics. He met with Dr. Shelly Batra, President of Operation ASHA, and then wrote a compelling article about India's TB problem and OpAsha’s innovative solution, the only way to TB elimination.

The author explained that OpASHA’s approach saves time and money for patients by delivering medication directly to their doorstep or to accessible collection points in their neighborhood. In a world riddled with inefficiencies and shabby work, dedicated and driven NGOs like Operation ASHA shine like a beacon of light and provide hope to millions worldwide.

  • Dr. Shelly Batra was invited to the World Economic Forum in China which took place in June 2017 as Discussion leader for the Innovators Hub.
