"Parilily Bibi with her baby Muskan Bibi who is 4 months old, they both have Tb. Parilily first noticed her symptoms four months ago when she started to cough up blood and she has had a fever ever since. She say’s she feels very tired and that everything is an effort. She only recently found out that her second daughter, 8 year old, tested positive too after a sputum test. They will all be on medication and should be cured within six months. She thanks the Calcutta Rescue team, she thinks they are angels sent from god."

Back in March of this year, CEA Myanmar completed the delivery and installation of five portable digital X-Ray machines. These machines are helping in the early detection of tuberculosis and are vital to remote communities throughout Myanmar. Sittwe, the capital of the Rakhine State has many refugee camps and a local prison which have seen an increased rate of early detection due to the new equipment and trained operators, resulting in many lives being saved.
Now six months on CEA Myanmar in conjunction with UNOPS – 3MDG, and American Procurement Service (APSCO) are continuing to support the fight against the disease in Myanmar. A further six digital X-Ray units were recently imported by CEA to be put into service in five different states throughout Myanmar and the capital Nay Pyi Taw. For all six installation locations, CEA Myanmar provided Customs Clearance, Transportation, Installation and operator training for the doctors and radiographers.
Myanmar is currently in the height of the rain season causing the roads, bridges, and highways to be frequently flooded, however, such is CEA’s experience in these conditions that all delays and detours were kept to a minimum resulting in the efficient transportation of all six X-Ray machines. The mobility of each machine is particularly advantageous enabling the teams to travel daily to surrounding townships across a greater area to detect, treat and follow-up on TB cases in the most remote areas of Myanmar.
Once again CEA Myanmar is immensely proud to be involved in such a worthwhile project that will result in the improved health of the people of Myanmar.

It was a humid day, thought we'd check the place out because of demolition plans in the future. I had been several months ago but did not bring a camera.

A really lovely painting. Unfortunately, Bonington died in 1828 from tuberculosis at age 25.
Where hasn't Andrew Speaker been? OK, there was a little zaniness put into this map, but at first, we really did not know where all Andrew Speaker had traveled. One thing is clear, most assuredly, he came into contact with thousands, who likewise did the same via connecting flights traveling throughout the world. Made for TV movie? Conspiracy? Big Government Pay-Offs or soon Big Money Law Suits? Who knows. Those remote areas in the world without TV could turn out to be glad there is no "remote" to fool with. This link goes to the story:

The grave of William Quarrier, the philanthropist and founder of the Consumption (Tuberculosis) Sanatorium. His wife was interred with him upon her death only one year after his own. Their daughters were later laid to rest alongside them.
The graves are located in the Mount Zion Church cemetery, Quarriers Village - the same resting place as the orphan children that died from Tuberculosis within the Village while under the care of the sanatorium.

Por recordarse el Día Mundial de la Tuberculosis, el Hospital Luis Vernaza organizó una Casa Abierta, con la finalidad de que la población conozca sobre la enfermedad, la forma de prevenirla y cómo detectar los signos sintomáticos respiratorios, para evitar su contagio.
"Ballav Bahaur, 65, of Taldi, he suffers from Tb and says he feels so very weak, “I cannot move swiftly and I am so skinny, no meat in my skin”. He said he regularly coughs blood and feels he must have something else wrong with his bones too but he is so scared that doctors have not found it, he says hew thinks it must be cancer and that he will die. However after the doctor inspected his medical reports he confirmed that he had a very bad case of Tuberculosis and because of his weakness may not survive the coming summer where temperatures are expected to reach over 45 degress celcious."

Twenty-eight-year-old Muhibullah is a tuberculosis (TB) survivor who has become a health worker after being cured of the illness. He has made it his mission to help other patients, and raise awareness among his community about the disease.
Muhibulah stayed in the hospital for the next six months and continued his treatment course until he was cured.
After that, he stayed on at the hospital, not as an under-treatment patient, but as a health worker, helping others.
Muhibullah is now an active member of the TB association and participates in TB intervention programs, raising awareness about the risks of the disease among communities. He earns 8,000 AFN per month.
“I get a very good feeling when I help others because I know what they have been through."
Although tuberculosis is still prevalent in some communities in Afghanistan, it is particularly widespread among internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees returning from neighboring countries, where there are three times as many TB cases than in the general population. What is more, access to TB control services is very limited in these settings, due to high mobility, poverty, and low awareness.
The continued deteriorating security situation in the country has resulted in displacement of an estimated 1.2 million people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance including healthcare. In addition, more than 610,000 Afghan returnees from Pakistan, Iran and other countries were repatriated in 2017 further exasperating the situation. Both of these vulnerable populations represent Key Affected Populations (KAP) for TB control as well as general health service delivery.
To respond to this, the UNDP-managed Global Fund programme, in close coordination with the Ministry of Public Health, implements projects to detect TB cases in the Afghan population, so they can receive the proper treatment. These programmes also aim to protect the rest of the population who are at risk of infection due to poor health and lack of sanitary infrastructure.

On this acid fast stain of material from a sheep lung, bright pink/red acid fast bacilli can be seen against a blue background. While these organisms are likely either Mycobacterium bovis or Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the species was not indicated. This slide was prepared in 1968 and imaged in February, 2022. The brown areas in the image likely represent degradation of the slide over time.
This is an image of a microscope slide that is part of a collection of teaching materials in the Department of Veterinary Microbiology at the University of Saskatchewan. These slides were prepared by a number of unattributed instructors from the 1960's through the early 2000's; this photo was taken by Joseph E. Rubin in early 2022.
