We advocate for the eradication of TB in learning institutions in most cases because of poor sanitary, poor ventilation or in short habitation in which they are found which makes them to be prone to TB. TB-HIV: The organisation in collaboration with Government Ministry of Health in Zambia conducts mobile VCT and makes sure that in cases of HIV or TB a test is conducted in order to rule out TB or HIV. Furthermore, the organisation promotes ways of preventing both HIV and TB among the in and out of school communities. The most preferred target group are the in school because of the poor habitation in which they are found. |
