Uttar
Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Ji has said that collective efforts
should be made to eradicate tuberculosis and that it was due to the concerted
efforts under the guidance of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi that the state
got success in Corona management.
Through
collective efforts and inter-departmental coordination, control of the disease
was successful in 38 districts affected by JE / AES of the state including
eastern Uttar Pradesh, he further informed. Introducing the collective approach
was a successful initiative in the polio eradication campaign, he said while
stressing the strength of collectivity in the successful execution of works.
The effort by mass campaigning gives positive results, the chief minister
noted.
The
Chief Minister was expressing his views in a programme organized on the
occasion of World Tuberculosis Day in Sitapur district on Wednesday. During the
programme, he inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of various projects
under the National Eradication Eradication Programme.
In
the programme, the Chief Minister digitally inaugurated the newly established
LPA Lab set up in the district of Gorakhpur and Meerut. He also inaugurated
RTPMU set up in Gorakhpur. He inaugurated 451 True-Net machines and 25 digital
X-ray machines installed in different districts as well. The foundation stone
of Drug WareHouse was laid by the Chief Minister for the storage and
maintenance of medicines in 21 districts. He also presented citations to the
five districts of Rampur, Sonbhadra, Maharajganj, Chandauli, and Unnao for
their outstanding performance in the national decimation programme.
The Chief Minister said that World Tuberculosis Day is a day to give a new impetus to the campaign to free people suffering from tuberculosis from all over the world. In the year 1882, the bacteria of TB were identified for the first time, but even after so many years, the world has not yet been freed from this disease. The World Health
Organization has targeted to free the world from
tuberculosis (TB) by the year 2030, he added.
With
meaningful efforts, we have got rid of many diseases like polio, the chief
minister said while adding how the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has set a
target to free the country from tuberculosis by the year 2025. He further said
that there has been a decrease in the number of TB patients in the state in the
year 2021 as compared to the year 2020.
The
Chief Minister said that the most important thing for TB patients is to provide
regular treatment in a time-bound manner. All departments including the Health
Department will have to make efforts in the TB elimination campaign only then
according to the resolve of the Prime Minister, by 2025, the country could be
freed from TB. He said that treatment of TB disease is absolutely free. There
is a provision of Rs 500 per month from the government for taking nutritious
food during the period of treatment.
The
Chief Minister also called upon the officers, employees, and people's representatives
of all departments to adopt one TB patient each and continue to get information
about the continuity of their treatment and the government assistance being
received. With this, the patient of tuberculosis will soon be free from the
disease, he said. The severity of the disease can be increased by breaking the
sequence of treatment of the patient with Tuberculosis. The regular and
restrained routine of any person can free him from all kinds of diseases.
The
Chief Minister said that 38 districts of eastern UP and Terai were affected by
JE. In these 38 districts, a large number of deaths were taking place every
year for last 40-45 years. From the year 2017, the present state government
launched a campaign in association with the central government, UNICEF, WHO,
etc. to eradicate encephalitis and as a result of the campaign, succeeded in
achieving effective control over the disease.
Appealing
to take constant precautions to protect against Corona, the Chief Minister said
that the introduction of vaccines does not mean that we should become careless.
There is still a need to be vigilant towards Corona, he stressed. The chief
minister also expressed hope that the schemes launched today and the foundation
stones of the projects which were laid will definitely bring about effective
improvement in health services and will prove to be very useful in the future.
Medical
and Health Minister Shri Jai Pratap Singh also addressed the programme.
Additional Chief Secretary Medical, Health, and Family Welfare Shri Amit Mohan
Prasad thanked the guests. On this occasion, Minister of State for Women
Welfare (Independent Charge) Smt Swati Singh and other people's representatives
and senior officials of the administration were present.
