The Indian Oil Corporation Limited, a public sector undertaking, will equip government healthcare facilities in the State as part of the national tuberculosis elimination programme.
As part of its corporate social responsibility efforts, the company will provide rapid molecular diagnostic equipment worth ₹27.96 crore. An agreement to that effect was signed on Wednesday. Annually, the State contributes 4% of the county’s TB burden. In 2023, the State identified 96,777 TB cases by testing around 20 lakh sputum samples, health department officials said.
