Located in Margao, the hospital operates under the Directorate of Health Services, Government of Goa, and plays a crucial role in the state’s public health programs aimed at controlling TB.
The hospital provides outpatient and inpatient services, diagnostic facilities such as sputum microscopy and X‑ray imaging, and specialized treatment regimens under the National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP). It also offers counseling, nutritional support, and follow‑up care for patients undergoing long‑term TB treatment.
In addition to TB care, the hospital handles other respiratory illnesses, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and lung infections. It serves as a referral centre for PHCs and CHCs across South Goa, ensuring that patients with suspected or confirmed TB cases receive specialized attention.
The TB Hospital also contributes to public health awareness campaigns, community outreach, and training programs for healthcare workers. Its role is vital in Goa’s efforts to reduce TB incidence and provide affordable, accessible care for vulnerable populations.
