Cabinet Minister Mohinder Bhagat visited Jalandhar Civil Hospital and handed out free high‑protein diet kits to 100 tuberculosis patients as part of a health initiative.
Jalandhar, Punjab – Cabinet Minister Mohinder Bhagat arrived at Jalandhar Civil Hospital on Wednesday to oversee the distribution of nutritional support kits to tuberculosis (TB) patients. The minister met with hospital officials and the patients before the kits were handed out.
A total of 100 TB patients received the high‑protein diet kits, which are intended to supplement their treatment and improve recovery rates. The kits contain protein‑rich foods and supplements designed to address the weight loss and malnutrition often associated with TB.
The initiative is part of the state health department’s effort to strengthen nutritional support for infectious disease patients. Hospital staff coordinated the distribution, ensuring that each kit reached a confirmed TB patient under the treatment program.
Minister Bhagat highlighted the importance of nutrition in combating TB, urging continued community awareness and adherence to medical regimens. The distribution is expected to be replicated in other districts based on its early success.
