National Tuberculosis Control Program (NTCP)

The National Tuberculosis Control Program (NTCP) is a government initiative aimed at preventing, diagnosing, and treating tuberculosis (TB), a contagious bacterial disease. Its goal is to reduce TB cases and deaths through standardized treatment protocols, patient support, and public awareness campaigns. NTCP ensures access to quality healthcare services, monitors disease trends, and promotes early detection to prevent spread. By coordinating resources and implementing effective strategies, the program strives to control TB transmission and improve overall public health outcomes.
