Regional Tobacco Control Database

The Regional Database on Tobacco Control (RDTC) is a tool that allows information on Member countries’ tobacco situation and control measures to be compiled and retrieved in an integrated information system for their use in policy and program formulation. The database site is part of the SEARO Integrated Data Analysis System (SIDAS). This database also provides the SEAR link to the global database GISTOC.
