One of the main thrust areas of the programme will involve encouraging adopting TB patients so that their nutritional needs are met.

NEW DELHI: Even as tuberculosis, one of the biggest killers, saw a 19 percent increase in 2021, the Centre has now planned to launch a new programme -- Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (PMTBMBA) -- that will encourage financial contributions from not only non-governmental organisations (NGOs) but also private sector corporates and the community.

Driven primarily by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the programme, to be formally launched on August 20, is primarily aimed at providing nutritional support to TB patients. One of the main thrust areas of the programme will involve encouraging adopting TB patients so that their nutritional needs are met.

Confirming this to The New Indian Express, National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP) Deputy Director General Dr Rajendra Joshi said that the new programme would be an expansion of the Union Health Ministry's focus on TB eradication. The central government implements the NTEP under the aegis of the National Health Mission (NHM).
