The state government is intensifying its localized approach, targeting remote tea and rubber plantation communities with specialized screening programs. Health workers are currently tasked with identifying cases early, issuing patient identification cards, and managing the full six-month treatment regimen. This outreach is supported by the deployment of modern diagnostic centers across all districts, aimed at bridging the gap between rural populations and essential healthcare services.
Beyond clinical efforts, the initiative leverages the Ni-kshay Mitra program to provide nutritional support for patients, a measure designed to improve recovery rates and reduce mortality. During the workshop, the Governor formally launched an app-based campaign to track progress and distributed food baskets to survivors. He urged the state's youth to establish TB-Free Clubs in schools, positioning them as primary advocates for public awareness. Officials noted that the state’s recent performance in these health metrics has already earned formal recognition from the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, reflecting the combined efforts of district administrators, frontline nurses, and local voluntary organizations.
