Evaluating the Socio-Demographic Profile, Knowledge, and Training of Health Personnel Associated with RNTCP in Relation to Patient Loss to Follow-Up

Abstract

Introduction: In order to effectively manage tuberculosis (TB), health professionals affiliated 
with the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP) and the Revised National 
Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) are essential. Healthcare personnel' attitudes, 
expertise, and procedures about tuberculosis have a substantial impact on whether a patient 
receives treatment successfully or not. The purpose of this study is to evaluate healthcare 
personnel's knowledge, training, and sociodemographic profile in relation to NTEP/RNTCP in 
the context of patient loss to follow-up.
