A much-needed step to stamp out Tuberculosis

The Government of India’s predominant mission to eradicate Tuberculosis (TB) from India by 2025 is a welcome step. If implemented to the ground level, it may bring about a positive change-in terms of healthcare - to the Indian Society. With an eye to bring back thousands of people from the death's jaws every year, though after years- long subterfuge, Govt. has shown some positive attitude to do away this epidemic from the society.

To weed out the prevalent disease from its roots, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stressed upon the strategic planning, and has tried to get the states as well on the deck with a view to ensure effective implementation of the mission.  This is unfortunate that even after the seventy years of independence our country is clutched in the jaws of a rampant disease like Tuberculosis. Though, PM Modi conceded that all the measures taken to erase the epidemic from the society so far went in the vain.

However, the policy failure reflects the apparent vacuums in our administration, and that remains flopped in providing access of health care services to common citizens. In this backdrop, the success of the mission to deracinate Tuberculosis remains encircled with the significant question marks.
