Jhpiego provides strategic technical assistance to the Government of India's National TB Elimination Program (NTEP) to accelerate TB elimination through health systems strengthening, implementation research, digital innovations, and evidence-based interventions. Working closely with the Central TB Division (CTD), State TB Cells, the National Health Mission (NHM), and development partners, Jhpiego supports the delivery of high-quality, people-centered TB services across the continuum of care.

The program implements several national and multi-state initiatives, including the Integrated TB–Tobacco Screening and Referral Program, an innovative initiative that integrates tuberculosis screening with tobacco control and cessation services across community and institutional platforms. The program strengthens collaboration between the National TB Elimination Program (NTEP), National Tobacco Control Program (NTCP), National Program for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases (NP-NCD), National Oral Health Program (NOHP), and the National Health Mission (NHM) to establish an integrated screening, referral, and follow-up system. Through digital health solutions, blended learning approaches, capacity building, supportive supervision, and strengthened referral pathways, the program aims to improve early TB detection among tobacco users and other high-risk populations while generating scalable evidence to strengthen integrated service delivery within the public health system.
