摘　　要：Kiosk is a client centric drop-in centre for TB information and services established in urban and peri-urban (slum) settings to provide outreach services under project Axshya. The main objective of the study was to demonstrate the efficacy and feasibility of scaling-up of the model to provide TB services. The assessment was carried out with the help of project recording and reporting formats used to document the information and services provided in the Kiosk from April 2016 to March 2017. The results from retrospective data analysis for services provided at 20 kiosks benefited 16,871 clients;of these 11,252 (66.7%), 1339 (7.9%), 848 (5%), 2911 (17.2%), (1.4%), 273 (1.6%) benefited with TB information, Flexi-DOT, sputum-collection-transportation (SCT), counselling, and domiciliary care respectively. Through active case finding (ACF);126,893 households were visited and 3593 presumptive-TB-patients received SCT services. A total of 329 TB patients were identified and linked to treatment services of national TB programme. “Kiosk” as a client centric approach would be a novel concept to ensure TB information, TB related services and contribute to ongoing efforts of TB case finding.Kiosk is a client centric drop-in centre for TB information and services established in urban and peri-urban (slum) settings to provide outreach services under project Axshya.
