RNTCP (Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program)

The Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) is India's government initiative to detect, treat, and prevent tuberculosis (TB). Utilizing standardized diagnosis and effective medication, it ensures patients complete their full course of treatment to prevent drug resistance. The program emphasizes early detection through testing, provides free treatment at government facilities, and promotes community awareness. RNTCP aims to reduce TB prevalence, improve patient outcomes, and ultimately eliminate TB as a public health threat in India.
