Union Health Minister JP Nadda held a focused interaction with Members of Parliament from Gujarat as part of ongoing efforts to advance the national mission for a TB‑Mukt Bharat. The meeting emphasized the critical role of community engagement, systematic outreach, and consistent follow-up in accelerating tuberculosis detection, treatment, and elimination.
During the session, MPs discussed strategies to enhance awareness campaigns at the grassroots level, improve early diagnosis and treatment adherence, and strengthen monitoring mechanisms to track progress in real time. They also explored ways to involve local authorities, civil society organizations, and healthcare providers in scaling up preventive and curative interventions.
The MPs pledged to intensify community-level action, expand awareness programs, and ensure closer monitoring of TB control initiatives. These commitments are expected to give fresh momentum to Gujarat’s efforts in TB elimination, while aligning with India’s broader national goal of achieving a TB-free status.
This interaction reflects the government’s emphasis on combining strong policy leadership with local-level implementation, ensuring that health initiatives reach communities effectively and that outcomes are measurable.
