Through extensive TB testing and providing essential care, this endeavor aims to substantially decrease the prevalence of TB in the region.

With the participation of numerous doctors and medical professionals, 1000 TB patients were given nutrition baskets at the TB-free medical camp, and awareness programs happened at the event, which will educate people about the causes and precautions for TB. Food and drinking water arrangements were made for all patients. All other medical concerns were addressed by the doctors. The primary goal of the RK HIV AIDS Research and Care Centre is to treat 6,000 TB patients and make four districts around Surat free from tuberculosis.

India has been fighting the tuberculosis crisis, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has envisioned eliminating the disease by 2025. In line with this campaign, the RK HIV AIDS Research and Care Centre launched an initiative on March 31 to raise awareness and make a tuberculosis-free Gujarat.

Those detected with the disease at the camp will get treatment for six months to one year. To tackle TB, the camp’s comprehensive approach was widely appreciated by everyone. Intending to improve public health, medical professionals have already begun treating patients suffering from the disease.
