Tamil Nadu Declares 2,390 Gram Panchayats Tuberculosis-Free for 2025
Tamil Nadu has declared 2,390 gram panchayats tuberculosis-free for 2025 under the 'TB Free Panchayat' initiative, which promotes community involvement in TB prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and patient support. Panchayats met criteria including examining at least 30 presumptive TB cases per 1,000 population, maintaining a notification rate of one or fewer per 1,000, and achieving a 90% treatment success rate. These panchayats were recently recognized for their efforts in collaboration with health teams and communities.
