TB campaign: Nadda asks CMs to rope in staff from other depts

Nadda suggested a whole-of-government approach where other departments could be roped in for the activities. He also requested the CMs to get the MLAs and councillors as well as Panchayati Raj institutions to mobilise the communities.

Union Health Minister J P Nadda Saturday on Saturday held a virtual meeting with chief ministers and health ministers of states and Union Territories, seeking their support towards the ongoing 100-day Intensified TB Elimination Campaign.

He urged the ministers to monitor the current activities at state level and ensure that the same is done at district level.

Nadda suggested a whole-of-government approach where other departments could be roped in for the activities. He also requested the CMs to get the MLAs and councillors as well as Panchayati Raj institutions to mobilise the communities.

Earlier this week, the health ministry also organised an event to sensitise the MPs and urged them to participate in their constituencies. “Centre is working towards ensuring advance stock of at least 6 months of TB medicines,” said Nadda.
