Awareness programmes for TB and AIDS control

We have organized camps and awareness campaigns on the important issues like T.B.. Control and AIDS Control. It need not be overemphasized that even today though TB is no more a deadly and fearful disease as it was in old days. With advancement of research in the area of Medicines the disease has been brought under control. However this may not be the case with AIDS. The AIDS is comparatively of recent origin and the scientist world over are still struggling and researching to find out the effective drug to cure the disease. The disease has taken the world for a stride and as per survey the no. of people suffering from AIDS in India is alarmingly high. Hence it is utmost essential to spread awareness and enlightenment on prevention and precaution to avoid infection of this deadly disease. As for T.B. as there are large no. of unprivileged and underprivileged people who hardly can afford to make both ends meet and do not get nutritious food and such people become susceptible to tuberculosis on account of malnutrition and miserable hygienic conditions prevailing in their houses and around the area they reside in. it is in this perspective that our organization is very keen to carryout campaigns and to hold camps where people are Informed, educated with regard to all the aspects of TB and AIDS. Awareness about these diseases surely help bring down the high incidence.
