Health workers at Ramgarh Chowk Primary Health Centre (PHC) have set an example of humanity by adopting 10 tuberculosis (TB) patients. This initiative has been undertaken as part of the 'Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan' (Prime Minister's TB-Free India Campaign), which aims to eradicate TB from India by 2025. Under this campaign, each adopted patient will receive financial assistance of ₹500 per month for the next six months.

The Medical Officer In-Charge of the PHC, Dr. M.D. Shamim Akhtar, stated that this initiative aims to provide nutritional support to TB patients and assist them in their treatment. He emphasized that TB is a serious disease, but it can be cured with proper treatment and nutrition. The adoption of patients by health workers will provide them not only financial aid but also emotional support, which will be instrumental in their speedy recovery.

Several health workers from the PHC have voluntarily come forward for this initiative. Besides Dr. M.D. Shamim Akhtar, others include Dr. Mohd. Wasim, Dr. Mohd. Naseem, Dr. Mohd. Wasim Khan, Dr. Mohd. Mustafa, Dr. Mohd. Sajjad, Dr. Mohd. Ali, Dr. Mohd. Imran, and Dr. Mohd. Alam. All these health workers reiterated their commitment towards TB patients and wished them better health. They stressed that community participation is crucial for TB eradication.

This step will also help raise awareness about TB patients in society and reduce the discrimination they face. This effort by health workers can serve as an inspiration for other health institutions and social organizations to come forward in this noble cause and contribute to achieving the goal of making the country TB-free.
