#TB mainly affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. Go to the nearest health center if you have symptoms of prolonged cough, fever & unexplained weight loss. Early TB treatment for TB will help stop the spread of disease & improve your chances of recovery.

Infants, children under five years, pregnant women, travellers, and people with HIV or AIDS are at higher risk of severe malaria infection. Malaria can be prevented by avoiding mosquito bites. Early diagnosis & treatments can stop mild cases from getting worse. #WorldMalariaDay

Yes! Pang-unawa at suporta ay kailangan upang #TB ay matuldukan. Mas mahihikayat ang mga taong may sintomas ng TB na magpa-test at magpa-konsulta kung mababawasan ang stigma at diskriminasyon laban sa kanila. Iwasan din nating makaapekto ito sa kanilang mental health. #EndTB

Health is included as a human right in the constitutions of 140 countries, yet billions are still denied this fundamental right in practice. It's time for action to bridge this gap. This #WorldHealthDay and every day, let’s fight for #MyHealthMyRight
