In this matter, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said that camps will be organized during this program and Ayushman Bharat cards will be given to 60,000 people. In the coming days, we will run this program more frequently for better access to health services and programs. Ayushman Bharat- Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana is the world’s largest health protection scheme. Which provides health coverage of Rs 5 lakh annually to every beneficiary family.

Earlier, PM Modi had said that the world’s target to eliminate TB is 2030 but India’s target is to eliminate TB by the end of 2025. Last year around 70,000 people became Ni-Ksay Mitra and adopted TB patients, which has now increased to one lakh. These TB patients have been adopted by NGOs, private individuals, political parties and corporates. They are being given nutritional kits every month and all possible assistance is being given to TB patients.
