PULWAMA: Deputy Commissioner Pulwama, Dr. Basharat Qayoom, today chaired a meeting at Circuit House Pulwama to review the implementation of the Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan and the functioning of Block Level TB Mukt Bharat Committees in the district.
During the meeting, the District Health Officer gave a comprehensive presentation on the progress made under the campaign, covering various aspects including screening of high-risk populations, diagnosis, treatment, differentiated TB care, nutritional support, TB Preventive Treatment, microbiology and NAAT performance, community participation and notification of TB cases. The presentation also outlined the roles and responsibilities of the Block Level TB Mukt Bharat Committees.
The DC reviewed the block-wise progress and sought detailed feedback from the Block Medical Officers on various parameters and indicators of the campaign. He directed all concerned to adopt a well-planned and coordinated approach for effective implementation of the PM TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan across the district.
The DC said that while Pulwama is a TB-free district, sustained and coordinated efforts are required to ensure complete elimination of TB from the district. He stressed the need for continued vigilance, intensified screening, early identification of presumptive cases and timely diagnosis and treatment so that no person suffering from TB remains undetected or untreated.
Dr. Qayoom directed the Block Medical Officers and other concerned health functionaries to prepare proper block-level plans, identify gaps and ensure their timely resolution through coordinated field-level interventions. He also called for regular field visits and directed the concerned officers and frontline health workers to visit TB patients to monitor their treatment adherence, provide counselling and ensure that they receive the required nutritional and other support.
