Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP)

The Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) is India’s government initiative to detect and treat tuberculosis (TB) effectively. It uses established medical practices, including targeted testing and standardized treatment protocols, to ensure patients recover fully and prevent the spread of TB. The program emphasizes early diagnosis, proper medication, and consistent follow-up, often involving community health workers to reach affected populations. By doing so, RNTCP aims to reduce TB cases and mortality, improving overall public health. It aligns with global standards and continually works on improving accessibility, awareness, and quality of TB care across India.
