[September-2022]

The President of India virtually launched the Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan.

The Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan has been envisioned to bring together all community stakeholders to support those on TB treatment and accelerate the country’s progress towards TB elimination.
According to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, all nations have set the goal of eradicating TB by the year 2030. But the Government of India has set the target of eradicating TB by the year 2025.
TB causes the largest number of deaths among all other infectious diseases in India. India has a little less than 20 percent of the world’s population, but has more than 25 percent of the total TB patients of the world.
