National Tuberculosis Control Program

The National Tuberculosis Control Program (NTCP) is an initiative aimed at reducing the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in a country. It focuses on early detection, effective treatment, and prevention of TB through public awareness campaigns and health services. The program ensures that people diagnosed with TB receive the necessary medications for free, promotes regular check-ups, and encourages vaccination, especially in vulnerable populations. By improving access to healthcare and fostering community engagement, the NTCP seeks to control and eventually eliminate TB as a public health threat.
