TB prevention and awareness

Apollo Tyres has joined the ‘Jan Andolan’ for Tuberculosis (TB) free India to contribute to India’s National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) to meet the ambitious goal of eradication of TB from India by 2025. 

The organisation has partnered with USAID, The Union and Central TB Division for TB initiative. In the reporting year two webinars on the theme of Partnership for Action against Tuberculosis (PAcT) were organised. 

The main aim of the webinar was to invite more corporates to join the partnership for TB elimination. The work in this domain has earned a recognition certificate by the Ministry of Health and Family Affaires (MoHFW). Company’s TB initiative primarily aims at awareness generation, early diagnosis, and treatment adherence, to reduce morbidity and mortality due to TB amongst the trucking community.
