State health minister Satya Kumar Yadav announced on March 25, 2026 that the government will procure 100 AI-enabled handheld X-ray machines via tenders at about ₹20 crore to accelerate tuberculosis detection and treatment. Each device produces a digital chest X-ray and AI report within 30 seconds, enabling roughly two-minute doorstep screening across districts and prioritizing hotspot villages for sputum follow-up.
