Our Correspondent / New Delhi

Those who are suffering from tuberculosis will now have to submit their Aadhaar number to avail benefits under a Indian central government scheme.

Health Ministry in a notification asked those who do not have Aadhaar card to get themselves enrolled by 31st of August this year.

Now, the Ministry will offer Aadhaar enrolment facilities for such persons.

In case, there is no Aadhaar enrolment centre located in the respective block or taluka or tehsil, the department in the state government will provide enrolment facilities at convenient locations in coordination with the UIDAI.

Till a patient gets the Aadhaar number, they can avail the benefits with the help of Aadhaar enrolment ID slip, a copy of the request made for Aadhaar enrolment or other government documents such as voter identity card, PAN card, bank passbook, ration card among others.

The notification is applicable in all the states and Union territories except Assam, Meghalaya and Jammu and Kashmir.

TB continues to be a leading cause of disease and deaths in India. Statistical data shows that every year about 20,00,000 people are infected with TB, and more than 3,00,000 people die due to low access to medical care and poor quality of treatment and care.

While 35,385 people were diagnosed with different forms of drug resistant TB labelled as DRTB. About 20,753 people were diagnosed with multi-drug resistant TB, defined as MDR.

Overall drug resistant tuberculosis has been found to be particularly high that continues to pose a serious health threat to the public.

While several measures have been taken by the government to control TB in India, the overall outcomes have not been comprehensive. The worst affected are those who reside in rural areas and urban slums. It has been found that in these unreached communities, families are both unaware about the disease and its impact as well as have no access to health care. Health workers do not reach these places located in villages and other rural settings. A majority of them are therefore at high risk of both morbidity and mortality.
