I Am Stopping TB'
I am stopping TB is more than slogan. It is the start of a two-year campaign that belongs to people everywhere who are doing their part to Stop TB.
This year's World TB Day is about celebrating the lives and stories of people affected by TB: women, men and children who have taken TB treatment; nurses; doctors; researchers; community workers--anyone who has contributed towards the global fight against TB.
The slogan, I am stopping TB , says that everyone can take an active role in helping all people in need gain access to accurate TB diagnosis and effective treatment,
Patients can stop TB by becoming active participants in their own cure and taking all their anti-TB drugs as prescribed.
Health workers can stop TB by staying alert to the symptoms of the disease and providing prompt diagnosis and treatment.
Scientists can stop TB by engaging in needed research to develop new diagnostics, new drugs and new vaccines.
Teachers can stop TB by educating their students about this age-old scourge.
Communities can stop TB by sharing information to help prevent the disease and get treatment to those who need it.
