It should have been far more useful and encouraging if a TB Warrior/ Conqueror who had fought his own TB with great courage and trust had been included in the panel of speakers so that the TB Warrior or TB Conqueror could share his experiences and difficulties that he underwent during the course of the treatment. His words would be an honest comment on the campaign against TB.

Prime Minister’s TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan by 2025 is a war on TB which takes two lives every 5 minutes in India.

Palamu district TB officer Dr Anil Kumar Sriwastaw is confident that TB survivors and TB-affected persons will help create public awareness on how to fight TB.
