Summary: Supervisory monitoring visits play a vital role in strengthening surveillance systems in India's healthcare sector, particularly in sexually transmitted infection/RTI programs under the National AIDS Control Organization. This article focuses on the Apex Regional STD Centre at Vardhman Mahavir Medical College, Safdarjung Hospital, highlighting the impact of these visits on program implementation, data accuracy, and equitable healthcare services. Key recommendations include improving personnel training, optimizing supply chain management, and refining procurement processes. By empowering healthcare staff and ensuring robust operational procedures, supervisory visits contribute to enhanced health outcomes and the overall success of public health initiatives.
