Two-weeks old cough, get to nearest RHcenter
FOR two weeks old cough, health authorities insist that the best action is to go to the nearest rural health center or health facility.
During the motorcade, which acted as the launching activity for the Lung Month in August August 11, members of the Provincial Council Against Tuberculosis (PROCAT) displayed banners and streamers declaring such to guide people to the proper administration of potential TB disease.
TB, according to experts can now be treated, so all that is necessary is for the patient to be given the right treatment at the proper time.
PROCAT is an alliance of non-government, government and health volunteers out to mobilize communities against tuberculosis. The council has also advocated with World Vision for the adoption of simple practices to keep TB off prisons.
With the business sector, PROCAT is also into making sure that TB is nowhere in the workplace and Bohol businesses are just as enthusiastic in supporting the treatment program now anchored at the Department of Health facilities. (PIABohol)
