Big B campaigns for tuberculosis-free India
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has voiced support for a government campaign that works towards a tuberculosis-free India.
“I support Minister of Health for TB free India,” Amitabh tweeted on Friday, which was observed as World Tuberculosis Day.
The 74-year-old thespian, who is a survivor of tuberculosis, added: “Incomplete treatment leads to TB becoming Drug-Resistant.”
He even urged his fans and followers not to leave the treatment mid-way.
“TB itni badi bimari nahi jo pakad mein na aa sakey (It is not such a big disease that it cannot be diagnosed and cured). Join India vs TB. Pledge support for TB free India,” he said.
J P Nadda, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare launched #India vs TB, TB- Free India campaign featuring Amitabh, ambassador for TB-Free India.
