If your sister truly does have tuberculosis (TB) and pneumonia, there is a possibility that she could be very contagious; that is, a threat to spread her disease to family members and others in close contact with her.  You might begin by contacting the following organization:  
The Tuberculosis Association of India
3 Red Cross Road
New Delhi – 110001
or
Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg
New Delhi, New Delhi 110002, India
011 23234270‎
011 23236923‎

It is also possible that she could have tuberculosis and, in addition to that, pneumonia caused by another organism (bacterium).  In that case, she would require medicine for both the TB and different treatment for the pneumonia.

Either way, she should be quarantined to the best of your ability.  She should cough all material from her lungs into disposable tissue and both she and those in close contact with her should all wear masks.  And everyone should wash their hands frequently.

Good luck.
