Current Program on TB Prevention and Reasons for Not Achieving Expected Results in India

Vikas Jain, Dr. Anitha S Pillai

Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a critical public health issue globally, with India bearing the highest burden. The National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP), formerly known as the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP), has implemented various strategies aimed at eliminating TB (Central TB Division, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, 2021). Despite these efforts, the anticipated outcomes remain unachieved. This paper analyses the current TB prevention programs in India, examines the barriers hindering their success, and proposes potential solutions. The study utilizes data and literature from the past decade, including sources from NTEP, NHM, and WHO (World Health Organization, 2023).

Keywords: Tuberculosis elimination, TB control programs, NTEP India, TB prevention strategies, public health challenges
