Mosbi in June! Smoke haze, car exhaust, rubbish fires, dry-season dust and dusty roads can all irritate our lungs š«. When our lungs are irritated, people with undiagnosed Tuberculosis (TB) may notice their symptoms become worse, while others may mistake a TB cough for "just dust" or a seasonal irritation.
The Port Moresby dry season is a good reminder to look after your lungs. If you, a workmate, friend or family member has a cough, unexplained weight loss, fever, night sweats or tiredness, support them to get tested for TB. Call 76762482 for support
TB testing and treatment are free. Early testing means earlier treatment, less spread to others, and a faster return to work.
This dry season, don't ignore a cough. š· Call for Health 7676 2482
