NATIONAL HEALTH PROGRAMMES
Introduction
After independence (1947), The Govt. of India has taken various
steps to improve the health status of the people. Amongst the
various actions, prominent action is the launching of National
Health Programs for the control/eradication of communicable
and non-communicable diseases, control of the population,
improvement in sanitation of the environment, standard of
nutritional status, and rural health. Many International
organizations such as The United Nations Children’s Fund
(UNICEF), WHO, UNFPA (United Nations for Population
265Introduction to Health Systems
Activities), World Bank, and foreign agencies like SIDA
(Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency),
NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command),
DANIDA (Danish International Development Agency), USAID
(United States Agency for International Development) have
been providing technical and material support in the effective
implementation of these programs.
The National Health Program is a government initiative in
India that aims to provide free or affordable healthcare to all
citizens of the country.

(NACO) in the year 1992 as a vertical program.
Fig. 5.3: Logo of National AIDS Control Programme
NACP has moved through four phases. The timeline of
NACP is summarized in Table 5.5.
In 2021 NACP was merged with the National Health Mission
(NHM). World AIDS Day is on Ist December. Currently, under
the program, there are strategic plans for AIDS elimination
(2017 to 2024). According to the national strategic plan for HIV
aid elimination, India wants to end HIV aid by the year 2024.
271Introduction to Health Systems
NACP Goals
1. Zero deaths zero disease and zero stigma due to HIV.
2. To reduce 80% of new infections by 2024.
National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP)
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by
Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. It spreads through the air
when a person suffering from tuberculosis cough, sneeze, or
spit. TB control efforts are initiated countrywide. In 1962
National Tuberculosis Control Programme was launched to
control TB. The program was reviewed and revised in 1993.
The Revised National TB Control Programme (RNTCP) was
launched in 1997 with the implementation of Directly Observed
Treatment, Short Course Strategy. The DOTS strategy is cost-
effective and is the international standard for TB control
programs today. In 2020, the RNTCP was further renamed the
National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP) by the
Government of India to end TB by 2025. The current logo of
NTEP is shown below.
NTEP Goals
1. To reduce mortality due to tuberculosis by 90%.
2. To end TB by 2025.
3. To reduce the incidence of TB by 80%.
There have been National Strategic Plans (NSPs) since the
start of the NTEP. The National Strategic Plan (NSP) 2017– 2025
had the national goal of eliminating TB in India by 2025. The

vision is a TB-free India. NSP aims to achieve zero death, zero
disease, and zero poverty.
NTEP Strategy
1. Detect, Treat, and Prevent TB is the strategy tagline in
NTEP.
2. Universalization of CB-NAAT, i.e. everyone who presents
with cough for more than two weeks. duration will be
offered CB-NAAT at baseline.
3. Introduction of TRUE-NAT, which is an Indian version of
CB-NAAT developed by ICMR
4. Introduction of new drugs bedaquiline and delamanid.
5. Introduction of shorter and longer MDR, XDR oral drug
regimens only.
6. JEET strategy: An initiative by the government of India in
which there is a joint effort for the elimination of TB from
Indian organizations, certain international organizations,
and non-governmental organizations. The main purpose
of the JEET strategy was to increase the notification rate of
TB by private practitioners.
Technology-based initiatives under NTEP
1. NIKSHAY: It is an ICT (Information Confirmation
Technology) enabled TB surveillance system to facilitate
TB notification. It was started in 2012 for both government
and private healthcare facilities to ensure reporting and
compliance with TB treatment.
