Today on the occasion of World TUBERCULOSIS Day ,District Tuberculosis Center ,Namchi handed over the certificate for TB free health and wellness center to Kabrey HWC.
This is the result of continuous efforts of health workers ,ASHAs and AWWs working tirelessly under the jurisdiction of Kabrey HWC covering the six wards of Karek Kabrey Gpu.
Health and Wellness Centre, Kabrey would also like to thank the villagers (specifically elderlys) for cooperating us during the screening process ,they not only visited the HWC or screening camps but also visited District Hospital for Xray screening without hesitation and our ASHAs has played tremendous role in accommodating them for screening camp to taking them to District hospital for XRAY.
We would also like to thank Mr Bal Krishna Sharma of Samardung who supported us by giving their personal residence area for the screening camp at Samardung not just once but for multiple times.
During the year more then 300 high-risk categorised individuals were screened for active and latent Tuberculosis on which 5 individuals were detected for latent Tuberculosis who went through 3months course treatment and are already free of TB infection risk in future.
4 cases for active Tuberculosis were detected on which 2 were pulmonary and 2 was extra pulmonary tuberculosis, all cases are under active supervision of Kabrey HWC and are verge of completing their 6months TB treatment.
Our efforts do not end here, elimination of Tuberculosis from our community needs more active support of Community, stake holders and public representatives in coming days too.
With hopes, happiness and greetings to all the folks of Karek-Kabrey
Team KABREY HWC once again thankyou all🙂
