Overview

The National Strategic Plan for Tuberculosis Control (2021-2025) by the Federal Ministry of Health is a comprehensive document outlining Nigeria's strategy to combat tuberculosis over the five-year period. It begins with an executive summary that sets the stage for the plan's objectives and targets. The introduction details the purpose, rationale, and development process of the NSP-TB, referencing guiding documents. The situation analysis covers background information on Nigeria's country profile, governance, economy, demographics, health system organization, financing, and health indicators, including relevant health sector policies. It then describes the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control Programme (NTBLCP) structure, functions, and infrastructure, as well as financing, key partners, private and non-NTBLCP sectors, and community TB care. The document analyzes epidemiology and progress under the previous NSP (2015-2020), with programme performance indicators. The plan aims to reduce TB incidence, mortality, and financial burden while achieving universal health coverage and ending the TB epidemic by 2035.
