Objectives of National Tuberculosis Control Programme
- To achieve and maintain at least 85% cure rate of new sputum positive patients.
- To achieve and maintain detection of at least 70% of estimated Sputum Positive Cases i.e. New Sputum Positive Case Detection Rate of 56/L/Y.
DOTS is a systematic strategy which has five components
- Political and administrative commitment. TB is the leading infectious cause of death among adults. It kills more women than all causes associated with childbirth combined and leaves more orphans than any other infectious disease. And, since TB can be cured and the epidemic reversed, it warrants the topmost priority, which it has been accorded by the Government of India. This priority must be continued and expanded at the state, district and local levels.
- Good quality diagnosis. Top quality microscopy allows health workers to see the tubercle bacilli and is essential to identify the patients who need treatment the most.
- Good quality drugs. An uninterrupted supply of good quality anti–TB drugs must be available. In the RNTCP, a box of medications for the entire treatment is earmarked for every patient registered, ensuring the availability of the full course of treatment to the patient the moment he is registered for treatment. Hence in DOTS, the treatment will never fail for lack of medicine.
- The right treatment, given in the right way. The RNTCP uses the best anti–TB medications available. But unless treatment is made convenient for patients, it will fail. This is why the heart of the DOTS programme is “Directly observed treatment” in which a health worker, or another trained person who is not a family member, watches as the patient swallows the anti–TB medicines in their presence.
- Systematic monitoring and accountability. The programme is accountable for the outcome of every patient treated. The cure rate and other key indicators are monitored at every level of the health system, and if any area is not meeting expectations,supervision is intensified.The RNTCP shifts the responsibility for cure from the patient to the health system.
