A significant initiative has been launched in Amarpur to ensure the success of the TB-Free India Campaign. Under this campaign, 12 tuberculosis patients have been adopted at the Community Health Centre (CHC) Amarpur. These patients, who are economically vulnerable, require nutritional support. Public representatives have pledged to support these patients by becoming 'Nikshay Mitras' (TB Friends).

As part of this initiative, Block Pramukh Ranjana Devi and Deputy Pramukh Sulekha Devi have each adopted five TB patients. Additionally, Block Development Officer (BDO) Rakesh Kumar has taken responsibility for two patients. These representatives also distributed nutrition kits to the patients, which included nutritious food and essential items.

Dr. Vinay Kumar, In-charge Medical Officer of CHC Amarpur, stated that the 'TB-Free India Campaign' is an ambitious scheme by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, aiming to make India TB-free by 2025. To achieve this goal, patients need proper nutrition alongside regular medication. Nutrition kits provide significant relief to economically disadvantaged patients.

Dr. Kumar emphasized the role of 'Nikshay Mitras,' explaining that they not only provide nutritional assistance but also offer emotional support. They encourage patients to take their medication regularly and adhere to the treatment process. The active participation of public representatives in this campaign is expected to raise awareness in society and encourage more people to come forward to help TB patients. Health Manager Vishwajeet Kumar, BCM Saurabh Kumar, BMNI Vishal Kumar, and other healthcare workers were also present on this occasion.
