India's tuberculosis burden is as much a governance and urbanisation challenge as it is a medical one. Examine the structural determinants of TB persistence in urban India and suggest measures to make disease control programmes more inclusive and effective.

Discuss the relationship between climate-induced environmental changes and the rise of infectious diseases in India. How can the healthcare system adapt to address these challenges?

Climate change is not merely an environmental phenomenon but a multiplier of existing public health vulnerabilities in India. Examine the health consequences of climate change across disease categories and suggest an integrated policy framework to build climate-resilient public health systems.

Analyze the socio-economic factors that contribute to the proliferation of tuberculosis in urban areas of India. How can policies be devised to support vulnerable populations?

More than 70% of emerging infectious diseases originate in animals. In this context, examine the significance of the One Health approach in addressing zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and climate-linked health risks in India.

Evaluate the impact of migration on health outcomes in urban India, particularly in the context of tuberculosis. What measures can improve healthcare access for migrants?

Access to quality healthcare in India has historically been determined by geography and income rather than clinical need. Examine the steps taken by the government to address this inequity, with reference to medical education expansion, financial protection schemes, and digital health initiatives.

Critically analyze the barriers to insurance coverage for organ transplant patients in India. How do these barriers exacerbate the challenges posed by non-communicable diseases?

Excessive screen time among children is increasingly being linked to adverse mental health outcomes and social skill deficits. Examine the causes and consequences of this phenomenon and suggest a multi-stakeholder framework to address it.

Parkinson's disease represents a growing neurological health burden in India. In light of recent scientific advances in brain network mapping, examine the limitations of existing treatments and the potential of non-invasive therapies like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for improving patient outcomes.

Achieving Universal Health Coverage in India requires addressing the structural imbalance between primary care neglect and tertiary care expansion. Examine this statement in the light of India's National Health Policy 2017 and Ayushman Bharat scheme.

Healthcare is a public good, not a market commodity. However, increasing privatisation and corporatisation of healthcare in India are threatening the principles of universality and equity. Critically examine with suitable examples.

Rising health sector budgets in India have not translated into proportionate improvements in public health outcomes. Examine the structural and governance reasons for this paradox and suggest measures to build a more efficient and equitable public health system.

Critically analyse how the culture of self-medication and weak prescription enforcement in India poses a threat to public health, with special reference to the rise of affordable lifestyle drugs.

Tuberculosis is not only a physical health challenge but also has significant mental health implications. Examine the interrelationship between tuberculosis and mental health, and discuss how stigma and existing healthcare strategies influence treatment outcomes in India. Suggest measures for ensuring holistic care.

Advancements in diagnostic technologies and community-based approaches are critical to tuberculosis control in India.
