Yen Thanh: Free medication distributed to children with tuberculosis.

(Baonghean.vn) - As part of the "Breath of Life" project by the PATH organization, the health sector of Yen Thanh district recently organized a campaign to educate people on how to prevent and detect tuberculosis in children in a timely manner.

Understanding the harmful effects of tuberculosis on patients and those around them, commune health stations throughout the district recently organized awareness campaigns via local radio stations on how to prevent, detect, and treat tuberculosis promptly.

Accordingly, commune health stations organized examinations and tests for the people and distributed medicine according to the program for children under 5 years old. In particular, those who have contracted tuberculosis will receive medication and guidance on treatment according to the organization's regimen.

Mr. Nguyen Van Phuong (Hop Thanh), who has suffered from tuberculosis for several years, shared: "Having this disease is very difficult, so early detection and treatment are best. Recently, the commune's loudspeakers have been broadcasting a lot about tuberculosis prevention, so I reminded my whole family to bring the children for screening and to get medication to prevent the disease."

The "Breath of Life" project has been implemented throughout the district since the beginning of March and has been enthusiastically received by the local people.

This activity aims to contribute to preventing and early detection of latent tuberculosis, helping people feel secure in their daily lives and production.
