ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE
(SHRI JAGAT PRAKASH NADDA)

(a) to (c): A statement is laid on the Table of the House

STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO LOK SABHA
STARRED QUESTION NO. 342* FOR 9TH DECEMEBER, 2016
…..

(a) National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) is currently implementing National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) Phase IV. One important component of NACP is Care, Support & Treatment (CST) of people living with HIV (PLHIV). All persons who test positive for HIV are linked to Anti-Retro Viral Therapy (ART) Centres. These ART centres are located in tertiary level medical institutions and some District Hospitals. All PLHIV get various diagnostic and treatment services free.

At present, there are 528 ART Centres and 1108 Link ART Centres (LAC) in the country providing free Anti-Retro Viral treatment, treatment for opportunistic infections and counselling services to 10.05 Lakh PLHIVs.

A total of 22 ART centres are run by different NGOs/Corporate Sectors as PPP model centres. NACO provides only Anti-Retro Viral (ARV) drugs to these centres and no funds are allocated to such NGOs for treatment of HIV/AIDS patients. Detailed list attached as Annexure I.

Additionally, 361 Care and Support Centres (CSCs) have been established through civil society organizations which complement the services provided by ART centres through counselling, outreach and linkage to need based other government welfare schemes and services. These CSCs have direct funding from the Global Fund, an international organization to fight HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria.

NACO promotes preventive activities in High Risk Groups (HRGs) such as Female Sex Workers (FSW), Men having Sex with Men (MSM), Transgender (TGs), Injecting Drug Users (IDUs) and mobile population like high risk migrants and truckers through the State AIDS Control Societies which are implemented by NGO/ Community Based Organizations (CBOs) led Targeted Interventions (TIs). Similarly, Link Worker Schemes (LWS) programme caters to HRGs & vulnerable population in rural areas across 17 states. These NGO/CBO led targeted interventions are contracted by State AIDS Control Societies (SACS). NACO provides grant -in-aid to SACS.

Total funds provided in the last 3 years & current year and utilization is placed at Annexure- II for TI and Annexure – III for LWS.

(b) & (c) NGOs are not involved in the process of registration of AIDS patients at ART centres, though they register patients in CSCs. Some NGOs/ CBOs are also involved in the process of registration of High Risk Group population for Targeted Intervention (TI) programme. We are not in receipt of any complaint regarding registration of fake AIDS patients till date. However, one PIL No. 135/2016 was filed against Maharashtra State AIDS Control Society and others, in the High Court of Bombay, Nagpur, with regard to fake registration of HRGs by one NGO and the matter is subjudice before the Hon. High Court. It is pertinent to point out that NGOs are selected by the respective States/UTs.
