Mr. Clinton obliged by administering WHO recommended DOTS therapy to patients at Mahavir Hospital in Hyderabad, India.<\/p>\n<p>The elimination of TB is a majorly considered in Indian Government\u2019s strategic plan of 2017 to 2025. In the plan four pillars of TB elimination have been stressed upon \u2013 \u201cDetect-Treat-Prevent-Build\u201d or DTPB and come under Revised National Tuberculosis Program (RNTCP) under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.<\/p>\n<p>It is an ambitious project of the government aimed at eliminating TB from India, five years ahead of UN\u2019s target for global Sustainable Development by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Various initiatives have been taken in RNTCP.

It is a global event financed and support by governments and relevant organizations and reaching out to people at grass root level. The events, especially in developed and under developed countries provide tremendous opportunities to get engage and show your concern towards elimination of TB form your country as well as globally.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the ways to get engaged on \u201cWorld Tuberculosis Day\u201d are listed below, to help you in deciding on your plans for the day.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"World_TB_Day_Activities\"><\/span>World TB Day Activities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>1) Raise Awareness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The one of the major causes behind the wide spread of TB epidemic has been less awareness of people about the disease, its symptoms, causes and cures. Many people, mostly from lower strata of society don\u2019t even know that they are infected until the infection reaches its final stage. Such low awareness about the disease not only risks the life of those infected but also the life of those in their proximity. Raising awareness of general public by whatever means possible will definitely help in bringing down the number of TB patients and also the number of those who are at risk of getting infected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Discuss<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Discuss about the Tuberculosis, its symptoms, treatment and modes of transmission. Know the cures of TB and possible time for complete recovery etc. Discuss whatever relevant topic comes to your mind. Discuss about the policies of your government and efforts by local authorities towards eliminating the epidemic. Also discuss about the prospects of organizing a debate or a medical camp in your community, village, school, office etc. Discussion is the best way to give your opinion as well as gather more knowledge about the subject.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Volunteer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There has to be an event organized in your city, community or village on \u201cWorld Tuberculosis Day\u201d. Many Non Government Organizations and government agencies organize events to observe the day. You can volunteer in such events and work with the organizers and other partners to further the cause. Many hospitals organize free medical checkup camps at different places and need volunteers to reach out to people and other purposes. Volunteering is a good way of expressing your concern and also to get to the root of the situation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Encourage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Encourage your family, friends and relatives to be a part of \u201cWorld Tuberculosis Day\u201d celebrations in whatever way they can. Inform them about the plight of people suffering from the disease and the financial and social constraints their family faces. Tell them about how they could be part of various campaigns by volunteering or by contributing financially.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Felicitate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Organize a felicitation ceremony to congratulate someone you know and who has done something extra ordinary related to TB. S\/He could be a medical practitioner in your locality who is giving free treatment for TB or a employee of an NGO working for the cause of TB. Whoever he\/she might be, felicitating him will encourage him to continue fighting with TB with more zeal and also will inspire others to follow suit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) Go to the Slums<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The main suffers of TB come from the socially deprived sections or poor sections of society. Such people don\u2019t have poor or no access to health facilities and live in poverty isolated from the rest of the world. Dwelling among them, there may be many who might be having TB, but don\u2019t even know about it. Reach out to them and act as a liaison between them and the agencies working for their welfare and elimination of TB.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7) Gather Funds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Billions of Dollars are required annually to fund researches, events, and campaigns on TB. Though TB is a global concern requiring Billions you can still contribute financially at will starting from a very genuine amount. You can contribute to organize an event or to support the medication of patients. Ever amount donated by you will be worth it irrespective of the amount you donate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table class=\"table table-bordered table-striped\" cellspacing=\"0\"
