Tuberculosis
is the most common opportunistic infection suffered by those infected
with HIV. It is estimated that 60% of those infected with HIV will
be suffering from Tuberculosis sometime in their life. Action India
started a T.B. DOTS Programme in the month of November, 2003 catering
to the areas of Rajokari, Kapashera and Mahipalpur. Till date we have
successfully treated four patients and twenty patients are on intensive
medication.
Our Outreach workers conduct home visits and ensure
that not even a single dose is missed by any patient. After all that
is our mission is not just to treat but also to eradicate drug resistant
tuberculosis.
