BASIC CONTENTS OF RNTCP WEBSITE OF THE DIRECTORATE OF HEALTH SERVICES, ODISHA About us The National Tuberculosis Control Programme (NTP) was implemented in Orissa in the year 1964 with the objective to provide free and domiciliary treatment to the patients detected through passive case finding method. The NTP did not achieve the desired success as a result the programme was revised with the DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short Course Chemotherapy) strategy and implemented in our State in the year 1997 with the objective to detect 70% of infectious sputum positive TB cases and cure at least 85% of them. The programme is implemented as per the Technical, Operational and Financial guidelines of Revised National TB Control Programme (RNTCP). The RNTCP was assisted by Danida through Government of India from 1996 to 2005. The Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria (GFATM) provides financial and technical support to implement the programme in the State from the year 2006 to 2010 through Government of India. The Rolling Continuation Channel (RCC) project of GFATM has been extended till the year 2017. The Government of India releases necessary funds to the Director of Health Services, Orissa through the Orissa State Health & Family Welfare Society on the basis of the Statement of Expenditure, Audit report and Annual Action Plan. Govt. of India also provides 100% requirement of anti TB drugs for treatment under RNTCP. The Lepra-India, an international NGO, is also providing support under Axshaya project to IEC-BCC activities in 12 districts of Orissa (Angul, Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Gajapati, Ganjam, Koraput, Kandhamal, Malkangiri, Mayurbhanj, Puri, Sambalpur and Sundargarh) The Catholic Bishop Conference of India (CBCI) and the Indian Medical Association (IMA) are also involved in RNTCP of the State.
