World TB Day: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath underscores the significance of realizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s resolution to make India tuberculosis-free by 2025. On World Tuberculosis Day, he calls for collective efforts to strengthen the foundation of a ‘Healthy India’ by raising awareness about tuberculosis symptoms and treatment.
World Tuberculosis Day, observed annually on March 24th, aims to raise public awareness about the global tuberculosis epidemic and initiatives to eradicate the disease. With tuberculosis remaining a leading cause of death from infectious diseases, particularly in low and middle-income countries, global efforts are crucial in combating this health challenge.
Recognized as one of the official global public health campaigns by the World Health Organization, World TB Day highlights the importance of addressing tuberculosis through coordinated actions, alongside other significant health campaigns such as World Health Day and World AIDS Day.
CM Yogi’s call to action underscores the urgent need for concerted efforts to eliminate tuberculosis, reflecting the commitment of the government towards ensuring public health and well-being. By raising awareness and fostering collective action, India aims to overcome the challenges posed by tuberculosis and achieve a healthier future for all.
