This project is the third in a series of projects supporting the Government of India’s Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP). It will support implementation of India’s National Strategic Plan for TB Control during 2014-15 and 2015-16 by contributing annually to the care of 3.1 million TB patients, better treatment for 40,000 MDR-TB patients and 90,000 pediatric TB cases.
