Select the correct statements about NTEP
1. NTEP aims to end TB by 2025.
2. NTEP stands for National Tuberculosis Eradication Programme.
3. NSP (2017-2025) expects 80% reduction in TB incidents.
4. NTEP objects for private sector engagement.
5. NTEP expects 90% reduction in TB mortality by 2025.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the option given below:
Answer: C
The correct statements are 1, 3, 4, 5.
In 2020 the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme was renamed the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme, in line with India's aim to end TB by 2025, five years ahead of the global SDG target (statement 1). The National Strategic Plan 2017-2025 set targets of an 80% reduction in TB incidence and a 90% reduction in TB mortality (statements 3 and 5), and private sector engagement is one of its key pillars (statement 4).
Statement 2 is wrong: the E stands for Elimination, not Eradication. Eradication means the permanent global removal of an agent, as with smallpox. Every option that includes statement 2 is therefore wrong.
