Examination of a Tuberculosis patient:
Acwerk Self-Reporting Centre Dasasamudram, Poosaripatty Village was established in January 2008. The idea was to provide an accessible rural health care.Most patients are regular and respond well to treatment.
Consultations and review are three days a week.Patients are also referred by us from school screening and out-reach clinic's. Response to awareness build has been good and patients have reported to the centre for treatment and follow-up as well. Patients were educated of the importance of screening for early signs of Leprosy and Tuberculosis.They were made aware the consequences if these early signs were unattended. That it could affect the entire family and livelihood. Limited income, daily wages, distance and transport facilities are reasons that restrict them from availing prompt health care advice. We consider their difficulty by providing suitable follow-up measures. Tuberculosis is still an increasing threat while early Leprosy is a silent menace, especially among school children. We continue to closely watch over them even though all patients do not fall in the typical category.
