New Delhi: Shri J P Nadda, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare inaugurated the 69th Foundation Day celebrations of the Vallabhbhai Patel Chest Institute (VPCI), here today. At the function, the Union Health Minister released a compendium on the list of Research Publications of VPCI from 1949-2017 and also unveiled the ‘Daily Digital Pollen Count Information for Public’. Prof Randeep Guleria, Director AIIMS, New Delhi and Prof. Yogesh K Tyagi, Vice Chancellor, University of Delhi, were also present at the event.
At the function, Shri J P Nadda said that the Government has rolled out a new `National Strategic Plan (NSP)’ to End TB by 2025 and VPCI and the Ministry should work together towards achieving this target. The target of eliminating TB by 2025 is quite ambitious. We are aiming to reach 3 million TB patients which means we would reach out to additional 1.1 million missing patients. I expect a major role to be played by the Institute in achieving success in this ambitious goal of Ending TB by 2025 as they have rich experience in the field of chest infections, he said.
