Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world’s leading infectious diseases, but the good news is that it’s preventable and curable with proper awareness and treatment. At Panay Health Care, we believe that education is the first step in stopping the spread of TB.
💡What is TB?
TB is caused by bacteria that usually attack the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. It spreads through the air when a person with active TB coughs, sneezes, or even talks.
🚨 Know the signs and symptoms of Active TB:
🔹 Cough lasting three weeks or more
🔹 Coughing up blood
🔹 Chest pain or pain with breathing/coughing
🔹 Night sweats and chills
🔹 Fatigue and weakness
🔹 Loss of appetite
🔹 Unintentional weight loss
These symptoms may seem common at first, but they shouldn’t be ignored. Early diagnosis saves lives—both yours and those around you.
🌱 Together, we can work towards a TB-free future. If you or someone you know is showing these symptoms, don’t wait—seek medical help immediately.
Let’s spread awareness, not infection. 💚
