TB Mukt Bharat App Launched to Strengthen TB Care and Public Awareness

The Government of India has launched the TB Mukt Bharat App as part of the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP) to strengthen efforts toward eliminating tuberculosis (TB) in the country. This digital initiative aims to improve patient care, enhance public awareness, and encourage community participation in TB eradication. The app provides a user-friendly platform where individuals can access accurate information about TB, including its symptoms, prevention methods, and treatment options. It also offers guidance and support for patients throughout their treatment journey, helping ensure better adherence and recovery outcomes. Integrated with systems like Nikshay, the app enables seamless delivery of patient-centric services, including follow-up support and treatment tracking. Additionally, it acts as an awareness tool to reduce stigma around TB and promote early diagnosis and timely medical intervention. This initiative reflects the government's commitment to achieving a TB-free India by leveraging technology to improve healthcare accessibility and community engagement.
