What measures has the Centre taken to combat the prevalence of TB in prisons

1. The Centre has ordered screening camps to be set up in prisons to curb the prevalence of TB. 2. These screening camps aim to detect TB cases early and provide timely treatment to inmates. 3. Specialized medical teams are deployed to conduct these camps and ensure proper diagnosis and management of TB cases. 4. Inmates with symptoms of TB are tested using sputum samples and chest X-rays to confirm the diagnosis. 5. Those diagnosed with TB are provided with appropriate treatment and monitored regularly to ensure compliance and effectiveness. 6. The initiative also includes health education sessions for inmates to raise awareness about TB prevention and control measures.
