National Institute for Tuberculosis Research (NITR)

The National Institute for Tuberculosis Research (NITR) is a specialized organization dedicated to studying and combating tuberculosis (TB), a serious infectious disease caused by bacteria. NITR conducts research to understand how TB spreads, develops, and how it can be effectively diagnosed and treated. It also works on developing new tools, medicines, and strategies to prevent TB and control its impact, especially in vulnerable populations. By advancing scientific knowledge and supporting public health initiatives, NITR aims to reduce the global burden of tuberculosis and improve outcomes for patients affected by the disease.
