Dr Bilal also sought a renewed commitment from all participants to sustain and accelerate the momentum towards TB elimination, ensuring continued collaboration and support at all levels of governance and healthcare delivery in Srinagar District.

DC further underscored that the achievement reflects the collaborative efforts of the District administration, Health, Panchayat level staff and community health workers in combating Tuberculosis at the grassroots level.

On the occasion, a detailed and insightful presentation outlining the district’s achievements and ongoing initiatives under NTEP was given by the District Tuberculosis Officer (DTO), Dr. Abdul Rouf. He informed the chair that all 21 Panchayats within Srinagar District have successfully attained the status of TB Free Panchayat under the Silver category for two consecutive years, marking a significant public health milestone.

Furthermore, the chair was apprised of the current diagnostic infrastructure and emphasized the critical need to strengthen it further. The demand was specifically requested to consider the provision of additional NAAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification Test) machines to the district to enhance the rate of upfront NAAT testing, enabling faster and more accurate TB diagnosis, which in turn would facilitate the initiation of timely treatment and contribute to the broader goal of TB elimination.

Later, during the meeting, DC felicitated the senior Health functionaries, Block Development Officers, Zonal Medical Officers and other health workers for achieving the TB-free Panchayats status under the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP).
