🔍 Stopping TB Before It Spreads: Contact Tracing in Action

Prevention Starts with Proactive Screening

When it comes to Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis (DR-TB), prevention is as crucial as treatment. That’s why we implement active contact tracing—a life-saving strategy to identify and screen those who may have been exposed before symptoms emerge.

🔹 Main Highlights:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Household & Close Contact Screening

We screen family members and others in close contact with DR-TB patients to detect hidden infections early.

🧪 Timely Testing of Suspected Cases

All identified contacts undergo diagnostic testing, helping us confirm or rule out transmission quickly.

⛔ Early Detection = Outbreak Prevention

By catching infections early, we help break the chain of transmission and protect entire communities.

💡 Why It Matters:

Contact tracing is not just about stopping DR-TB in one patient—it’s about shielding families, neighborhoods, and future generations from the threat of drug-resistant TB. strategy helps us catch cases early and cut off transmission before it starts—protecting families and whole communities.
