💨 Abstract

The Union Home Ministry has advised states and Union territories to organize TB screening camps in prisons due to the disease's potential spread in crowded, closed settings. Inadequate screening and lack of awareness are key challenges in controlling TB inside prisons. This initiative is part of the government's '100-Day Intensified Campaign on TB Elimination' to improve public health and reduce mortality rates.
