India has the world’s highest tuberculosis (TB) burden, with an estimated 26 lakh people contracting the disease and approximately 4 lakh people dying yearly. Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan is an initiative of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) to accelerate the country’s progress toward TB elimination by 2025. Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan, the governor of Telangana and the lieutenant governor of Puducherry, launched the TB Mukt Bharat campaign, which involves conducting door-to-door TB screenings using portable handheld X-rays.
