Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs, but TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. Not everyone infected with TB bacteria becomes sick. As a result, two TB-related conditions exist: latent TB infection (LTBI) and TB disease. If not treated properly, TB disease can be fatal.
Saving Dreamz Foundation on occasion of World TB Day had organised an "TB Awareness Seminar" followed by "Drawing Competition" for the children of their Study cum Activity centre.
Mr. Javed Khan and Mr. Surendra Satpute representative of National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP) shared their knowledge regarding Tuberculosis. Also the winners of Drawing Competition were felicitated with some gifts by them.
It was overall an new learning experience for the children as now they to can share awareness regarding TB cure in their school and friends.
