STOP TB

A native of Kancheepuram, Kamatchi was in a total mess when I first met her. Having no family to care for her, TB was a total shock to her. When she came to us through her doctor, she was not for the idea of taking treatment through an organization.

I spent several sittings with her and educated her thoroughly on the disease and the strategy through which it could be cured. She finally agreed and took up treatment. Kamatchi was regular with her treatment and I kept a constant tag on her throughout the treatment period making sure she was motivated to complete medication.

Today this 38 year old is cured and is back to her native.

When in Chennai, she makes it a point to call me up and enquire about our team. Hearing her happy voice which was once an echo of sadness and misery, recharges the professional in me to carry on my work with greater zeal.
