Tuberculosis Control Programme

The Tuberculosis Control Programme is a public health initiative aimed at detecting, treating, and preventing TB, a bacterial infection that mainly affects the lungs. It involves identifying people with TB early through screening, providing effective treatment to cure the infection, and ensuring they complete their medicine to prevent drug resistance. The program also focuses on raising awareness, providing vaccination where needed, and monitoring progress to reduce TB cases and transmission in the community. Overall, its goal is to control and eventually eliminate TB as a public health problem through coordinated efforts.
