🌍 TB Prevention Starts in the Community!

We successfully conducted a training programme on 11/05/2026 with the participation of RE,SPHID and RSPHNO for Field PHIs and PHMs (Batticaloa District) on Tuberculosis (TB) awareness, prevention, and early identification.

As the saying goes, “Prevention is better than cure.” The active involvement of our dedicated field officers plays a vital role in the early diagnosis and prevention of TB within the community. Their commitment and continuous field-level efforts help to identify presumptive TB patients early and ensure timely treatment and care.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all PHIs and PHMs who participated in this important programme and continue to serve the community with dedication.

Together, we can move towards a TB-free society! 💪🫁

📢 Training of the Staff of Prisons on Presumptive TB Identification

The District Chest Clinic – Batticaloa successfully conducted a training programme for staff of prisons in Batticaloa, aimed at strengthening the early identification of presumptive tuberculosis (TB) cases.

This important initiative focused on equipping participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to recognize TB symptoms promptly and ensure timely referral for diagnosis and treatment. Early detection plays a critical role in preventing the spread of TB, particularly in high-risk and confined settings such as prisons and detention centers.

The training programme covered:
✔️ Identification of presumptive TB cases
✔️ Screening and referral mechanisms
✔️ Infection prevention and control practices
✔️ Importance of early diagnosis and continuous treatment

Through this programme, we strive to enhance TB control measures within institutional environments, safeguarding both inmates and staff.

We extend our sincere thanks to all prison and detention center staff and supporting authorities for their active participation and cooperation in making this programme a success.

Together, we move forward towards a TB-Free Sri Lanka.
