New Delhi: The Centre and the state governments are working together to make India TB-free by 2025, ahead of the global target of achieving the goal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday.
In a series of tweets on the World Tuberculosis (TB) Day, he said that the government reaffirms its commitment towards ensuring a TB-free society.
"This would greatly benefit the poor. Correct and complete treatment is the key to winning the battle against TB. I also salute the people and organisations strengthening the TB-free movement," he wrote.
He also said that the Centre's efforts such as the TB Free India campaign and Ayushman Bharat are improving health standards and providing assistance to TB patients.
