India’s Revised National
Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP), which is
based on the WHO-recommended Directly Observed Treatment Short-course (DOTS)
strategy, has undergone unprecedented rapid expansion in recent years.
By the end of March 2005, RNTCP population coverage crossed one
billion. This is a significant milestone in TB control efforts in
India. WHO India Country office wishes to congratulate the Government
of India on this great achievement, and to commend all donors and
stakeholders for their commitment and continued support to RNTCP. WHO
would like to take this opportunity to thank CIDA, DFID and USAID for
supporting the WHO technical assistance to RNTCP.
