According
to the CDC website:
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the world’s deadliest
diseases:
- One third of the world’s population are infected with TB.
- Each year, nearly 9 million people around the world become
sick with TB.
- Each year, there are almost 2 million TB-related deaths
worldwide.
TB Clinic Program:
-
We are not a DOT's program.
- We provide TB care and treatment to patients
who cannot comply with the DOT's program
for
various reasons which prevent the patients
from daily being available at a certain
time and
place, to receive their medications. Many of
our
patients are farmers, laborers, sadhus, widows,
and villagers.
- We provide a one month supply of TB medication
to the patients monthly. They return the
empty
blister packs from their medicine each
month
when they return for their monthly refill.
- Our compliance rate has been excellent among
new patients and those who were formerly
not
able to comply with the DOT's Program.
- We provide other supportive medical treatment
to
our TB patients as needed for symptom
relief,
general health and other medical
conditions.
