TB (Tuberculosis) control programs

TB control programs aim to reduce and eventually eliminate tuberculosis by identifying cases early through screening, ensuring patients receive proper treatment, and preventing spread. These programs include testing at-risk populations, providing free or affordable medication, and educating the community about transmission and prevention. Monitoring patients closely during treatment prevents drug resistance. Overall, the goal is to detect TB early, treat it effectively, and reduce transmission to protect public health.
