Hi ! It is 24 March. World Tuberculosis Day, held annually on 24 March, commemorates the date in 1882 when Dr Robert Koch presented his discovery of the TB bacillus to a group of doctors in Berlin. Every year, World TB Day focuses on the efforts of frontline TB care providers and their crucial role in stopping TB. The message on this World Tuberculosis Day, , is to spread the awareness that sticking to the prescribed drug regimen is the only way to beat this dreaded disease… The entire course of first line DOTS treatment lasts between six and nine months, costs about Rs. 2000. with the second line drugs, the course runs for two years and costs about Rs. 2 lakh. So if proper medicine is taken timely the disease can be prevented.Here are the Meghdoot Post Cards issued by India Post to create awareness about the ptreventiom of this deadly disease. This is a special Post for Today with some updates in Club News !.........Till Next Post ........Have a Nice Time !
Taming the monster: TB is curable provided one has the will to fight it....
Depending on the way it is handled, Mycobacterium tuberculosis can actually be a gentle monster or a savage killer. While conforming to prescribed drug regimens can gently persuade the monster to leave, forsaking the dosage is tantamount to invoking its entire and wholesome wrath.
That then is the challenge this World Tuberculosis Day. With the threat of drug-resistant strains of TB now a certain reality, how does the nation ensure that it can prevent the danse macabre of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis? While drugs are integral, spreading awareness about the need to stick to drug regimens and continue with the full course of the treatment is surely the road to take.
