We remain steadfast in our commitment to creating a TB-free India.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized India’s remarkable progress, with a 17.7% decline in TB incidence from 2015 to 2023—a rate more than double the global decline of 8.3%. This acknowledgment reflects India’s transformative approach to TB care and control.
Under the visionary leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi ji, our government has expanded and strengthened the National TB Elimination Programme by taking key initiatives such as the Ni-Kshay Poshan Yojana to provide essential nutritional support to TB patients, and introduction of the BPALM regimen, a novel treatment for Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis.
I also acknowledge the tireless efforts of @MoHFW_INDIA 's dedicated healthcare workers, whose unwavering commitment and hard work play a crucial role in this fight against tuberculosis.

Had an informative discussion with a group of healthcare experts. They shared their rich perspectives on ways to augment healthcare capacities in India. I told them about the work we have done in integrating latest technology in the sector and our efforts like TB elimination.
