MESSAGES OF HOPE AND STRENGTH
“ Aapko main ye batana chahta hoon ke mujhe bhi TB tha aur maine complete
DOTS liye. Jiss doctor se main DOTS tablets leta tha voh doctor bohot nice hai. Ek
baar unhe kahin jana tha to ek din pehle unhone apne peon ko bhej kar DOTS lene ke
liye mujhe bulaaya aur mere DOTS kabhi miss nahi hue. Ye baat 2005 ki hai jab me
26 years ka tha. Aaj me 33 years ka hu.
” - Sanjeev Kumar
“ I am an Indian citizen living in Europe. I was detected with latent TB. My
family was also called for the TB test by the hospital because they were staying with
me. Had I been diagnosed in India, I do not believe that any doctor would ever have
thought of checking for latent TB through a test of the other members of my family.
Anyway, by taking regular medication, and staying with my family, without
spreading it to others, I am cured within 6 months.

“ I would like to tell you that my wife suffered from TB 4 years back. She was
treated for 12 months and is now free from that disease.
”
- Abid
“ I already suffered from MDR-TB and have gone through minor surgery. But
now I am completely fine. TB is totally curable with proper precautions and
nutrition.
