🩺 March is Tuberculosis (TB) Awareness Month 🩺

Prevent and Treat TB with the Right Measures!

What is TB?
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs. It is curable and preventable with the proper treatment and lifestyle choices.

How is TB spread?
TB spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or spits, releasing bacteria into the environment. You can become infected by inhaling just a few of these germs.

Preventive Measures:

• Avoid close contact with anyone known to have active TB.

• Wear a mask if you are in close proximity to an infected person.

• Boost your immune system with healthy habits, proper nutrition, and regular exercise.

• Get screened for TB if you're at high risk (e.g., people with compromised immune systems).

Therapeutic Measures:
If you or someone you know is diagnosed with TB, early treatment is key. TB can be treated with a 6-month course of 4 antimicrobial drugs, which are highly effective when taken as prescribed. Treatment should always be supervised by a healthcare professional to ensure the best results.

Did you know? Since 2000, 53 million lives have been saved thanks to early diagnosis and proper treatment. Don't wait – if you experience symptoms like a persistent cough, fever, night sweats, or weight loss, seek medical advice immediately.
