On May 30, 2025, the Union Health Minister convened high-level meetings with Health Ministers from six States/UTs to assess progress on TB and Measles–Rubella elimination and evaluate fund utilization under PM‑ABHIM and the 15th Finance Commission.
The 100-day TB-Mukt Bharat Abhiyan screened 12.97 crore individuals, detecting over 7.19 lakh TB cases—including 2.85 lakh asymptomatic.
Emphasis was placed on expanding NAAT testing, engaging vulnerable groups (e.g., migrants, slum dwellers, HIV patients, alcoholics), and enhancing nutritional support via Ni‑kshay Poshan and Ni-kshay Mitra.
He urged states to bring TB incidence below 47 per lakh and mortality under 3 per lakh and strengthen immunization to eliminate measles–rubella. Health Minister Monitors Progress on TB, Measles-Rubella Elimination and PM-ABHIM Implementation
