Following is the text of Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi’s message on World Tuberculosis Day.
“In the spirit of this year’s World Tuberculosis Day theme of ‘Wanted: Leaders for a TB-free world’ I urge citizens and organisations to take the lead in the movement to end TB. A TB-free world is a wonderful service to humanity.
Government of India is working in mission mode to make India TB-free. While the world has set a target of 2030 for TB elimination, we in India want to become TB-free by 2025.”
