Earlier polio was an epidemic in India & many people suffered from it. The Govt. took severe steps like mass vacination of the population & finally it was a success. Now a new problem has arisen.India contributes one fifth of the world TB cases. It has high morbidity and mortality rates due to tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is a disease of the poor as it is widely found in developing countries like India, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday, revealing that India alone contributes 20 per cent of the disease burden across the globe.


So, how can we prevent TB or protect ourselves from it?

Use Of Precautionary Measures

idea posted by Bindu Narayan Product Development Manager, Care Biomedicals

* Vaccination
    * Fruits
    * Antimicrobial Soap
    * Masks
    * TB Skin Test
    * Masks


Thus, by using these simple  steps & products I think one can protect himself/herself from TB.

Yes,I agree with Bindu.Adequate Food habits are requirement of the day not only for TB but several diseases.People eat what their tongue likes and not with consideration of nutritional needs of the body.

In addition,the causes,preventive measures,some interviews by ads of patients who suffered due to what kind of negligence/lac of knowledge.Also some ads by the patients cured successfully but still how much time,money and pains they paid for the cure should be part of promotion.The promotion should be like Polio drops campaign.It will provide awareness in public.

A national campaign which stronglly endorse treatment & awareness .

idea posted by Brij Kishor Mishra Product Specialist at Alcon Laboratories India Pvt Ltd.

TB patients are generally poor patients, & advicing them for fruits , good food & paid vaccination I think does not makes much of sence , while fighting agaist this disease we shouldn't forget the major patient population. And I think first we should target the existing TB patients through polio like campaign & at the same time we should try to make the people aware about TB, its threat & preventive measures.

In one line it should be a national campaign which stronglly endorse treatment & awareness .
