 We can end Tuberculosis in Nigeria with short  course TPT regimen such as 1HP and 3HR  #endtbnow #endtbinkano #1HPAwareness  #rahamaatwork

  Remember, 1HP and 3HP are not substitutes for TB Treatment.  They are shorter course preventive therapy for 3 months and 1 month. #LetsEndTB #1HPSavesLives #1HPAwareness

We commemorated the World Day Against Trafficking 2024 with the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) Naptip Nigeria in Kano today. This activity was an avenue to raise awareness to the general public especially young people on the dangers of trafficking as well as ways to identify and prevent the occurrence of Trafficking.  #endtrafficking #endtraffickinginnigeria #rahamaatwork 

  Tuberculosis is also known as TB. Not everyone who becomes infected with TB gets sick, but if you do get sick you need to be treated. #EndTBNow #endtbnigeria #RahamaAtWork #1HPSavesLives 

  1HP and 3HP are short-course preventive treatment of latent TB infection.  It actively stops the progression of TB infection to active TB disease. Take #1HP or #3HP to protect yourself. Visit the nearest healthcare facility for more information.  #endtbnow #EndTB2030 

Concurrent administration of vitamin B6 with isoniazid protects against the development of nerve damage in these individuals. If signs of nerve toxicity develop - often starting with “needles and pins” or burning sensation in the feet or hands – then contact your healthcare worker to discuss if TPT needs to be changed and if treatment with vitamin B6 at a higher dose is necessary #1HPSavesLives #3HPAwareness #TPT #tuberculosispreventionanderadication #endtbnow

According to WHO, TPT should be given to people of all ages in close contact with TB patients; people of all ages living with HIV; people who will start anti-TNF treatment, who will receive dialysis, or who are preparing for organ or haematological transplantation; and prisoners, health-workers, immigrants from high TB burden countries, homeless persons and people who use drugs. #1HPSavesLives #endtbnow #EndTB2030
