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.
