different sections is always
a daunting task. I would
like to thank our policy
makers who have devised
an appropriate strategy
taking a patient’s approach
in view. They have rightly
started a campaign to
provide free check-up,
free treatment and free
medicines. I appreciate
our Prime Minister and
the Government that
they started the Ni-kshay
Mitra scheme. I request
the people to listen to the
call of the Prime Minister
and become a part of
this people’s movement.
Nothing can be better than
an act of helping others
who need help and care.
Being a Divyang woman,
if I can take care of the
treatment of 10 people
and become their friend
nothing can prevent others
to follow the suit and
become a friend of at least
one patient. If this happens
then surely we will make
India TB-free by 2025. I also
appeal TB patients not to
lose heart and give up. We
all are with you, the Prime
Minister of our country is
with you and many friends
and TB champions are with
you.
