The TB Training Unit video library brings together practical training videos on key TB topics. Use these resources for self‑learning, team discussions, or structured training activities.
Imipenem based Salvage Regimen & PICC Line Management
When standard treatment for Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis (DR-TB) does not lead to desired outcomes, both patient survival and community safety are at risk due to ongoing transmission. Managing such complex cases requires advanced clinical decision-making and familiarity with alternative treatment options.
This training video provides a practical overview of the role of carbapenems in DR-TB management, including their mechanism of action, regimen design, and the safe use of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC). Designed for treating physicians, the session aims to strengthen capacity to manage difficult cases effectively, improve patient outcomes, and reduce transmission.
Palliative care for TB patients
For individuals living with extensive TB sequelae or those in whom treatment regimens have failed, the journey through care can be both physically and financially overwhelming. Limited treatment options, coupled with high out-of-pocket expenses, often leave patients and their families in distress.
This training video highlights the critical need for integrating palliative care into TB services, focusing on improving quality of life, ensuring compassionate care, and preserving dignity for those with advanced disease. It also underscores the importance of advocacy within the national TB programme to move towards a more holistic, patient-centered approach to TB care
TB safety in Action: Protect, Prevent & Practice
Gaps in infection prevention and control (IPC) practices—both at home and in healthcare settings—continue to drive the transmission of tuberculosis, especially among vulnerable populations. Limited awareness of simple yet effective measures like proper ventilation, cough etiquette, hygiene, and adequate nutrition increases the risk of household spread, reinfection, and poor recovery outcomes.
This training video provides practical guidance on strengthening TB IPC alongside the importance of nutrition in TB care. It covers key areas such as home-based prevention, screening and contact tracing, dietary support, and the implementation of administrative, environmental, and personal protective measures. Designed for healthcare workers and caregivers, the session aims to build capacity for safer care practices, improved patient resilience, early detection, and reduced transmission in both community and facility settings.
Effective communication in TB Care
Effective communication is the foundation of quality TB care, yet many patients feel overwhelmed by medical jargon, fear-based messaging, and rushed consultations. This often leads to confusion, mistrust, and poor treatment adherence, preventing patients from seeking the support they need.
This training video focuses on strengthening communication skills among healthcare workers, including culturally sensitive counselling, motivational interviewing, and trust-building approaches. By fostering respectful and patient-centered interactions, the session aims to improve adherence, enhance patient engagement, and empower individuals to take an active role in their treatment journey
Stress management & burnout among family members & health care providers
TB care professionals often work in high-stress environments, navigating overburdened health systems, limited resources, and emotionally demanding patient interactions. At the same time, family members and caregivers supporting TB patients may also experience treatment of fatigue, emotional strain, and stress over prolonged care responsibilities. Without adequate support, this can lead to burnout, fatigue, and reduced quality of care.
This training video focuses on promoting mental well-being for both healthcare workers and caregivers by offering practical self-care strategies, peer support approaches, and techniques to build emotional resilience. It also addresses ways to manage caregiver stress and sustain supportive care at home. By strengthening the well-being of all those involved, the session aims to ensure consistent, compassionate, and high-quality TB care.
