On 24 March 2016, activities dedicated to the World TB Day were held almost all over Ukraine with support of Alliance for Public Health, calling to Unite to End TB.
About 15 CSOs played an active role in the campaign. To draw public attention to the issues of TB, raise awareness in TB prevention and early detection, information materials were distributed thought mass media and awareness-raising classes were held, including lectures for students of professional and higher educational institutions, and individual counseling on early TB diagnostics was conducted.
About 3,500 copies of information materials “Tuberculosis” and “Tuberculosis is Curable” were distributed and about 2,500 people were screened with the help of special questionnaires for presence of tuberculosis symptoms. In case of detecting any people with tuberculosis-like symptoms, recommendations were given on the need to seek medical assistance in treatment facilities.
