Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai hailed the state’s significant achievement in the battle against tuberculosis (TB), with 4,106 gram panchayats now officially declared TB-free. The milestone aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s national goal to eliminate TB from India by 2025.
This grassroots-level achievement marks a major milestone in the fight against tuberculosis, especially in rural areas where awareness and access to healthcare have traditionally been challenging.
In a significant step toward eradicating tuberculosis (TB) from Uttar Pradesh completely, the Yogi Adityanath government has launched an initiative to screen individuals who are in close contact with current and former TB patients.
Principal Secretary Health, Partha Sarathi Sen Sharma has issued specific guidelines to all Chief Medical Officers and District Tuberculosis Officers (DTOs) including the Director General of Health in this regard.
