Community-Led Monitoring

WE CAN STOP TB TOGETHER.

🦠TB is an infectious and completely curable disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is spread from person to person through the respiratory tract.

🩻A person with TB is at risk of infecting 15-20 people. When they talk, cough, sneeze, or spit, the bacteria of the disease are released into the air, and people around them become infected by breathing in this air.

👩🏻‍⚕️In our country, TB accounts for more than 40 percent of respiratory infections, and it is the sixth leading cause of death in the population, and the first leading cause of death due to infectious diseases.

Therefore, it is important for us to fight this disease together.

🤝Last year, we established community-led monitoring CLM support groups and organized meetings in Bayanzurkh District, Songinokhairkhan District, Khentii, and Darkhan-Uul Aimags.
