The state commissioner for health, Dr Cletus Shurkuk, said that as part of the state government’s commitment to fighting tuberculosis and other infectious diseases, the state government has established a new central drug store to warehouse all essential medications for malaria control and infectious diseases including those for tuberculosis patients.

He stated this when a delegation from Kaneng Rwang Pam Foundation for Education and Migration Awareness KRP FEMA, led by the executive director, Kaneng Rwang Pam, paid him an advocacy visit as part of the campaign to eradicate tuberculosis in the state.

According to him, some agencies are partnering with the state government in the health sector, including the recent donation of motorcycles. He said this will improve access to unreachable remote communities, especially in contact tracing for TB and other infectious diseases.

The commissioner reiterated his support for the advocacy, particularly in ensuring the release of funds and the overall success of TB programmes in the state.
