Step 6: Selecting the 'Add contact' tab will take the user to the enrollment window. The process of entering information in this window is similar to adding a New presumptive TB case in Ni-kshay, except that the option of “Contact of Known TB Patient” is automatically selected for the field “Key Population”.
