MESSAGES OF HOPE AND STRENGTH
“ I was unwell for almost a year and had undergone various treatments ranging
from high fever medication to asthmatic medication before I was diagnosed with
Koch’s abdomen (TB in abdomen) which is considered a silent killer. Fortunately I
was diagnosed at the last stage and with 18 months of medication I got completely
cured of it. I really thank my doctors without whom this would not have been
possible. We even had a baby after the treatment got over who is healthy and fine.

“ I am a TB survivor. Jab mujhe first time pata chala TB ki bimari ka to mujhe
kuch ajeeb laga lekin 4 months mein maine kafi hadd tak apni iss bimari per kaabu
kar liya aur mujhe ummeed thi ki main jald se jald is par jeet hasil kar lunga. Un
mahinon mein maine ek bhi din dawai miss nahin ki. Mera har subhe uth ke yehi ek
bada kaam tha ki mujhe bhule bina dawai leni hai. Maine roz yoga karna bhi start
kiya. Yoga se mujhe bahut madad mili aur sharirik aur maansik roop se fayda bhi
hua. Main doosre patients ko bhi bolna chahunga ki aap haar mat maaniye, yeh rog
lailaaj nahin hai!

“ I am a dentist and I am a TB survivor. I was treated for a year. Both my lungs
were affected but today I play tennis every day. So don’t be afraid and take
medication regularly. Support the patient, fight the disease, not the diseased.
