SDG1 End Poverty End TB
TB stops PNG's goal its goal to end poverty.
Poverty causes TB and TB causes poverty. B4H did NOT say only poor people get TB! Any one can get TB. With 42,000 new cases a year, TB places enormous financial and social burdens on people, businesses, and government. The cost of one person being diagnosed with Tuberculosis can be catastrophic for a family. Learn more 7676 2482
SDG2 Zero Hunger Zero TB
Tuberculosis is a hungry disease.
TB causes malnutrition and poor nutrition drives high rates of TB, particularly for children and older adults.
Last year of the 42, 000 new cases of TB in PNG over 10,000 were children. For PNG, ending hunger, achieving food security and improving nutrition will help end TB.
SDG3 Health and No TB
Improving PNG's health demands us to find, test and cure infectious diseases like TB. We will end the 5000 deaths a year from TB when we all to learn to find, test, support and cure every person with TB every year. This year if every business can help us to find, test, support and treat just one of the 42,000 new TB cases expected this year, we can end TB!
SDG4 Tuberculosis Education
n PNG, we need workplaces to also provide inclusive and equitable health education, to promote lifelong health protection and learn about access to free TB services. Without strong literacy or numeracy mastering the complex clinical pathways, managing and adhering to long courses of treatment for TB is tricky. In PNG workplace education reaches families and community. Employees can learn to share information about how smoking, poor diets, lack of physical activity, diabetes, high blood pressure and STIs all work together to drive high rates of TB. Our workplace TB wardens training supports your ongoing TB program. #endtb #coveryourcough for information about B4H workplace TB education call TB toll free info line 7676 2482 https://youtu.be/y3gZ8A9N6y0
SDG5 End TB with Gender Equity
Sorry for stating the bleeding obvious, but most senior executives in PNG are men. If your executive team is made up of men from somewhere else, experience tells us they don’t know a lot about how to access free TB services in PNG. In the lead up to World TB Day this year - Please ask yourself these questions:
- Do all the women in your business have the confidence, to talk to you openly about TB or HIV?
- Do all the women in your business have the confidence, to ask you about how to access free TB or HIV services?
- Is every woman in your workplace confident that they will not lose their job if they even think they have TB
- Does everyone in your workplace know about and understand that can be tested and treated at no cost, and if found early, people found to have TB can return to work quickly while on treatment?
It is our goal to ensure women have the confidence to ask for help without fear of discrimination or violence.
Our workplace training empowers women to speak up about TB. Call B4H 7676 2482 to learn more about our workplace TB training
