Ficci to adopt one lakh TB patients

The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci) on Tuesday said it would adopt one lakh TB patients under the ‘Tuberculosis Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan’.
The Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan was launched by President Droupadi Murmu on September 9 to reinvigorate the mission of TB elimination from the country by 2025.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave the call to end TB in the country five years ahead of the SDG target of 2030 at the End TB Summit in March 2018.
