National Tuberculosis Program (NTP)

The National Tuberculosis Program (NTP) is a health initiative aimed at controlling and eliminating tuberculosis (TB) in a country. It focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing TB, which is a serious infectious disease affecting the lungs. The program provides free access to essential medications, promotes awareness about TB transmission and prevention, and emphasizes the importance of completing treatment. NTP also works to identify at-risk populations and implement strategies to reduce the spread of the disease. Ultimately, the goal of the NTP is to improve public health and reduce TB cases and deaths.
