It's #WorldTBDay.
Tuberculosis is caused by a type of bacteria that spread through the air when people with TB cough, sneeze or spit. It mainly affects the lungs, but can also impact other parts of the body.
Seek medical attention if you have symptoms like:
🔸prolonged cough
🔸fever
🔸unexplained weight loss
Early TB treatment can help stop the spread of disease and improve your chances of recovery.
Contact your health provider if you:
🔸show symptoms
🔸are a close contact of a person with TB
🔸are at high risk of getting sick with TB. If you are living with HIV, get tested for TB.

Medical interns tunakapitia sana.We got delayed posting for more than 12 months.Alafu,after working for 4 months we are yet to be paid since Mafya House wants to pay a stipend and not as per the 2017 CBA dictates. Mental health in the pits.#PayMedicalInterns#JusticeForMedics
Two young doctors gone. Two lives lost because the Ministry of Health annihilates medical interns. The CS and the PS are badly https://t.co/ckL3Mmq7VA can we work under deplorable conditons and fail to pay us?4 months of slavery #PayMedicalInterns#JusticeForMedics
Wages for interns is less than 1% of the total MOH budget. But these fat, incompetent orangutans mismanage the 99% and want to take the little that is left from hardworking and deserving interns. Patients and doctors are dying. Time to drain the swamp. #JusticeForMedics
