Emphasis on expanding awareness, having more camps for TB, AIDS prevention

Kollam, Jun 22 (UNI) The TB Elimination and AIDS Prevention Control Committee has emphasised on the need to expand awareness initiatives and conduct more camps for eliminating these two serious illnesses.
The decision regarding this was taken by the Committee under the chairmanship of District Collector N. Devadas.
Steps have been taken to intensify tuberculosis and AIDS eradication efforts in this district of Kerala.
TB diagnostic camps will be organized in areas where a high number of migrant workers reside. Individuals with more serious respiratory issues will be referred for expert treatment. If required, isolation centers will be considered for treating such patients.
With the support of local self-government institutions, nutritious food kits will be distributed to patients.
Special camps were conducted in the coastal region from Paravur to Azhikode, and awareness stickers were affixed on hundreds of boats. Awareness messages were disseminated not only in Malayalam but also in Tamil and Hindi.
AIDS awareness among youth will continue with the cooperation of various government departments.
