District Collector A. Mallikarjuna underlined the need for creating awareness among the people on tuberculosis (TB) after flagging off a rally, marking the World TB Day at the Collectorate on Thursday.
The officials of Health and Family Welfare Department and students of nursing colleges participated in the rally.
“It is time we all made a collective effort to eradicate TB. Doctors should create awareness on the disease at the field-level through intensive campaigns. Seminars and meetings should be held in schools and colleges,” said the Collector.
