Innovation is transforming TB care!
ICMR’s drone-enabled transport of TB samples is improving access to timely diagnosis, particularly in remote and hard-to-reach areas.
The initiative reduced diagnosis time from 15 days to just 5 days, while average patient costs fell from ₹9,451 to ₹91, making TB diagnosis faster, more affordable, and more accessible.
