Despite years of research, experiments and treatment options, tuberculosis remains a major concern for public health even today. MTV Nishedh Season 2 sheds light on the symptoms of tuberculosis and tuberculosis treatment through the story of Hina, a young, popular girl in college looking forward to a bright future.
2020 hum sab ke liye ek bahut hi mushkil year raha hai. COVID 19 pandemic ne humein har tarah se challenge kiya hai, leaving us isolated from family and friends, and forcing us to adjust to a “new normal”, jo humne kabhi socha bhi nahi tha.
India is all set to become the most populated country in the world in a few years and we all know how that has come to be, sex. Yet, the taboos related to sexual health, intimacy and relationships still prevail in the society. As a society, we Indians actively avoid discussing these issues openly with their friends, families or even partners. From the looks of it, India definitely needs to start talking.
Whenever these words are spoken out loud, all we do is hush hush. While young Indians are open and forward in their outlook, there is still hesitation to talk about these issues. Have you ever thought why? Think now, what makes you not say out loud the things you feel? Why, despite having an open mind, are you unable to voice your opinions?
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis that affects our lungs. The symptoms of getting TB are prolonged coughing, weight loss, night sweats and fever. TB is a potentially serious infectious disease and can easily spread through air when a person coughs, talks, sneezes or sings. While TB is generally associated with people from a lower economic background, the truth is ANYONE can get TB.
In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in its report that India accounted for 27 per cent of the total number of Tuberculosis cases in the world! Tuberculosis, which is caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a growing epidemic and yet, we don’t hear people talking about this lethal disease.
The question remains: Why not so serious? And an even more important question needs to be asked: What do we do to fight it?
Tuberculosis is a serious epidemic in India, but very few of us understand the importance of spreading awareness and initiating conversations around it. Consider this situation: What if one of your friends is suffering from TB? Yes, being around a person infected with TB can be risky, but is cutting off that person from your life the solution? No, Definitely Not! This is the time your friend needs you the most.
