Partnership for Action Against Tuberculosis(PAcT) – Assam

Event Details

As per WHO Global report 2019, India has the highest number of TB cases in the world. TB is an infectious disease and if not diagnosed and treated in time, it can spread to other people staying in close contact with TB patients. To prevent TB, early diagnosis and complete treatment has been proved to be a successful strategy.

In 2018, Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi committed to eliminate TB in India by 2025, five years before the global target. It is an ambitious goal and considering the various socio-economic aspects of TB, it is clear that the health sector alone, will not be able to address TB challenge in India. Corporate sector with its reach among workers and communities can contribute significantly in reaching the unreached with TB information and services.
