About Us.

The Provincial Control Program Balochistan is a dedicated public health initiative aimed at combating tuberculosis in the region. Operating under the guidance of the Government of Balochistan and in collaboration with national and international partners, the program works to reduce TB prevalence, improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes, and raise awareness about this preventable and curable disease.
