Passage :A majority of the TB infected in India are poor and lack sufficient nutrition, suitable housing and have little understanding of prevention. TB then devastates families, makes the poor poorer, particularly affects women and children, and leads to ostracisation and loss of employment. The truth is that even if TB does not kill them, hunger and poverty will. Another truth is that deep-seated stigma, lack of

counselling, expensive treatment and lack of adequate support from providers and family, coupled with torturous side-effects demotivate patients to continue treatment — with disastrous health consequences.

Which one of the following is the most logical, rational and crucial message conveyed by the above passage?

TB is not a curable disease in Indian circumstances.

Curing TB requires more than diagnosis and medical treatment.

Government's surveillance mechanism is deficient; and poor people have no access to treatment.

India will be free from diseases like TB only when its poverty alleviation programmes are effectively and successfully implemented.
