  • Overview:

    Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) was first implemented in Dibrugarh district of Assam during the year 1998-99. After the successful implementation in Dibrugarh district, RNTCP programme now covers all the 27 district of Assam. Currently, there are 150 numbers of Tuberculosis Unit (TU) and 350 numbers of Designated Microscopy Centres (DMC) to control Tuberculosis in Assam. More than 7,000 DOT Centers are running in the state for providing Directly Observed Treatment (DOT)to the TB patients.

    Objectives:

    The basic objective of the RNTCP programme is to ensure DOTS for all TB patients. The objective of the programme is to achieve 90 percent notification rate for all TB cases and 90 percent success rate for all new and 85 percent for re-treatment cases.

    The Joint Director (TB), Govt. of Assam holds the responsibility for overall performance of the RNTCP as a State TB Officer (STO) under the State TB Control Society (STCS) Assam. The 27 Districts of the state have District TB Officers (DTO) along with 64 numbers of Medical Officers- (Tuberculosis).

Apart from these, there are other regular support staffs.
