Lead Story
On this World Tuberculosis (TB) Day, I reflect with immense pride on how India is rewriting the playbook in the fight against TB. The recently concluded 100-day Intensified TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan has not only demonstrated the power of innovation but has also shown that mobilising communities is just as crucial as transforming the programmatic approach. The campaign was launched on December 7, 2024, with the objectives of accelerating TB case detection, reducing mortality and preventing new cases.
The 100-day Intensified TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan introduced cutting-edge strategies to detect TB early, ensuring that even those without symptoms — who would have otherwise gone undiagnosed — were identified and treated. Portable X-ray machines were taken directly to high-risk individuals, including people with diabetes, smokers, alcohol consumers, those living with HIV, the elderly, those with low BMI and household contacts of TB patients.
