ที่มา/ความสำคัญโครงการ :

Each year around 8 millions new tuberculosis (TB) cases are reported and 3 million people died from the disease. Since TB is carried in airborne particles of 1-5 microns in diameter, the prevention of TB transmission can be difficult. TB is spread from person to person through the air. When people with lung TB cough, sneeze or spit, they propel the TB germs into the air. Although TB is a treatable and curable disease, this dread disease is a multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. TB infection may recur if not properly and completely treated.

And what about children?

Children with low immune systems are more prone to infection. Children with strong immune systems with latent TB infection have TB germs in their bodies but they are not sick because the germs are not active. But when their immune systems get weakened, the TB germs in their lungs will become active, multiply and spread; they eventually develop TB disease. Sometimes, germs can also spread to other parts of their body such as the membranes surrounding the brain known as “TB meningitis” which is a life-threatening condition. TB is a chronic and infectious disease, which can easily spread. Lack of proper TB treatment will result in an epidemic of tuberculosis, which can cause an economic and social impact eventually.

ประโยชน์ของโครงการ :

Reduce the risk of airborne transmitted infections and spread of disease.
Children are healthy; they can grow, learn and develop in a full capacity.
Reduce the use of chemicals used in disease control, which can cause side effects and irritations.
Reduce the number of people who are at risk for TB and TB infection in public, which results in the decrease of the number of imported drugs.
