From Patient to Advocate: One patient’s experience highlights the impact of TB education.

Generations of his family suffered from TB, leading them to believe it was hereditary. He and his brother, both artisans working in a small workshop, contracted TB. When they enrolled for treatment at Doloh TB Centre, they learned that TB is not hereditary but spreads through the air! Initially skeptical, they believed it only when a co-worker from their workshop was also diagnosed.  

After successfully completing his treatment, the patient became an advocate, educating people at his workplace and in his village. "If I see someone coughing, I tell them: ‘Please cover your mouth, go to the TB Centre, and get checked'." This transformation highlights the power of education in breaking myths and promoting early diagnosis.
