PM Narendra Modi on Sunday, June 29, hailed the success of Indian health workers after World Health Organisation (WHO) declared India free of Trachoma, an eye disease.
While addressing the 123rd episode of his monthly radio program, Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi said, “I am delighted to share with you that WHO has declared India free of Trachoma, an eye disease. This is the success of our health workers. ‘Jal Jeevan’ Mission has contributed to this.”
