PM Modi aims to make the country a ‘TB free nation’ by the year 2025, Tuberculosis will be eradicated with ‘Nikshay Mitra’ campaign

The Modi government is going to make a big announcement in the direction of making the country a ‘TB Free Nation’. For this, the Modi government has now decided to give important responsibility to the Governors and Lieutenant Governors of the states and union territories. Very soon PM Modi will entrust this responsibility by meeting with all the Governors and Lieutenant Governors of the country. To make a TB-free nation, the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor will be made ‘Nishaya Doots’. Let us inform that the present Governor of Uttar Pradesh, Anandiben Patel, worked on this idea four years ago while being the Governor of Madhya Pradesh. Patel later adopted TB patients in UP as well under this idea and encouraged other voluntary organizations to adopt these patients. Now the Union Health Ministry has decided to implement this idea in the whole country.

Let us tell you that in many parts of the country, patients suffering from tuberculosis are still not able to get a balanced diet. For this, help of 500 rupees is also given every month, but it is insufficient. Keeping this in mind, an initiative was started by Anandiben Patel four years ago as Governor of Madhya Pradesh. To give his support in the TB eradication campaign, he adopted 5 children of Bhopal for TB treatment. Along with this, the Vice Chancellors of all the universities of the state were appealed to adopt 20-20 TB affected children. After this, 1200 children were adopted by various institutions of Madhya Pradesh. After this, when Patel became the governor of UP, she started the process of adopting TB patients here too.

The role of governors and lieutenant governors will be decided regarding TB
Significantly, the Modi government has set a target of making India a TB-free nation by the year 2025. Under this, the Union Health Ministry has now decided to increase public participation by running a tuberculosis eradication program at the community level. On the initiative of the Ministry of Health, now TB will be eradicated from the country through the ‘Nikshay Mitra’ program across the country.

TB patients will take special care
Under this campaign, Nikshay can play a true friendship with the patients who become friends by helping them at the level of nutrition, diagnostics and employment. Corporates, public representatives, all political parties, NGOs, public sector enterprises and common countrymen can also help and care for TB patients by joining the Nikshay Mitra campaign.

On the initiative of the Ministry of Health, a renewed awareness initiative has been taken for the tuberculosis eradication program in many states of the country.

This is the initiative of the Ministry of Health
The Health Ministry has decided to provide ‘Nutrition Kits’ to the patients for adequate nutrition under the Nikshay Mitra Abhiyan. Under this campaign, arrangements have been made that the person or organization who becomes Nikshay Mitra can adopt TB patients of any block, ward or district for at least one year and provide them necessary help at the level of food, nutrition, livelihood. .
