Himachal Pradesh Aims for TB-Free Status by 2025: Collaboration Key
Himachal Pradesh is setting an ambitious goal to eradicate Tuberculosis (TB) by 2025. Secretary Health, M. Sudha Devi, emphasized collaboration across various departments, including Panchayati Raj institutions, NGOs, and the public. The focus is on raising awareness, mobilizing ‘Nikshay Mitras’ (TB patient supporters) for nutritional aid, and conducting special testing campaigns in educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and industrial zones. This multi-pronged approach highlights Himachal’s commitment to public health and achieving a TB-free future.
