2. ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND:

The World Health Organization (WHO) was established in 1948 as a specialized agency of the United Nations. The objective of WHO is the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health. WHO's main function is to act as the directing and coordinating authority on international health work.

The WHO Country Office in India (WCO-India) provides wide-ranging policy inputs and technical assistance to the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW), in the area of health and health systems, to support a range of health initiatives that include National Rural Health Mission, Universal Coverage, Polio Surveillance, TB Control, HIV/AIDS, Roll Back Malaria, Tobacco Free Initiative, Health Financing, Trade Agreements and Health, Non-communicable Diseases, Environment and Health etc.

About Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP):

The Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP), based on the Directly Observed Treatment, Short Course (DOTS) strategy, began as a pilot project in 1993 and was launched as a national programme in 1997. Rapid RNTCP expansion began in late 1998 and nation-wide coverage achieved in 2006.

The RNTCP receives technical support and advice from the World Health Organization, whose mandate revolves around six core functions:

(1) Providing leadership on global health matters;

(2) Shaping the health research agenda;

(3) Setting norms and standards;

(4) Articulating evidence-based policy options;

(5) Providing technical support to countries, and;

(6) Monitoring and assessing health trends.

RNTCP has initiated early and firm steps for the achievement of its declared objective of - universal access to early quality diagnosis and quality TB care for all TB patients'. RNTCP is being implemented with decentralized services of TB diagnosis through 13,000+ designated microscopy centers and provision of free treatment across the nation through 400,000+ DOT centers.

WHO has been supporting RNTCP since its inception, working closely with the programme and partners, at both the national and state levels. WHO India provides policy inputs and technical assistance to Government of India's (GoI- s), Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) for tuberculosis (TB) control activities. In the 20 years since its inception in 1999, the WHO-RNTCP Technical Support Network (TSN) has sought to strengthen RNTCP activities through technical support in planning, capacity building, training, evidence generation, surveillance and monitoring and evaluation.

India now has a national strategic plan 2017-2025, with ambitious targets and innovative strategies in alignment with the WHO-End TB Strategy, for the elimination of TB in India.

Currently, the WHO-RNTCP TSN has 15 National Consultants, who provide support at Central TB Division (CTD), New Delhi and 65 Consultants working in the field to link state and district programme units with national and international program strategy and operational and technical guidelines. The TSN supports the center and states with strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation, capacity building, advocacy and operational research inputs.

With RNTCP seeking the more ambitious goal of ending TB by 2025, the TSN shall be expanded to 148 National and Field Consultants, to address additional technical assistance requirements.
