In a big boost to the tuberculosis control programme, the Supreme Court on Monday said all new tuberculosis patients will get doses of drugs on daily basis instead of thrice a week.
Directing daily doses of fixed drugs combination treatment, Chief Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar, Justice N V Ramana and Justice D Y Chandrachud said all patients who were getting treatment under thrice-a-week-dose schedule would switch over to daily doses regimen in nine months.
The bench ordered the switch over following a PIL by Raman Kakkar, who is associated with the revised national TB control programme.
