March 26, 2015 01:48 am | Updated 01:48 am IST

When electoral campaigns can penetrate every nook and corner of the country, a subject on which there is much writing and analysis, why cannot there be a similar approach towards serious health issues like fighting TB? TB will continue to cause much misery to the nation because of neglect, an absence of empathy and lethargy. It is time governments, the media and even the private sector synergise to spread awareness on >TB control . The most efficient solution is prevention, but how many know what steps are to be taken?
