“Now I’m feeling very well” – A recovered TB client shares her story
Ms Syda is 55 years old and lives in Nongdang village, Bolikhan District. She was diagnosed with TB through HPP Laos’ active case finding project. The field staff supported her to access treatment through her local Health Centre in September 2018. She completed her treatment in March 2019. She says:
“Now I am happy that I have recovered from TB. The project came to help me by checking my health. If there had been no project, maybe I would have already passed away. I would also like to thank the nurses and doctors who helped me get better. Through the TB project, I received ducks and chickens, and so I have been able to improve my nutrition and protein intake. Now I’m feeling very well and eating very well. Recently, I have been able to start working again.”
