Every Indonesian society apparently has the potential to get TBC. Unfortunately, people only get themselves checked when they have severe symptoms of TBC.

Many are unaware when experiencing mild complaints leading to TB and just let it be. This can increase the potential for transmission.

1. Screening

Screening is important to prevent the early transmission of tuberculosis by identifying individuals who have symptoms of the disease.

"If we conduct screening like among students, there is a potential to identify individuals affected by TB. We know that the most important thing in preventing it as soon as possible is to find people with TB even if they haven't thought of coming to a healthcare facility."

Nurul's words.

2. Drinking Preventive Medicine

Drinking preventive medicine is important for people who live together or have close contact with TB patients. This is to ensure that a person can avoid the chance of getting TB.

3. Immediately Check When Experiencing Tuberculosis Symptoms

"If you experience a cough for more than two weeks or other symptoms, an examination should be done immediately to quickly determine the health condition and prevent the potential transmission of TB."

"Those who have symptoms, it is important to get tested immediately. If the result is positive, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately until it is completed in order to break the chain of transmission."
"ujar Nurul." translates to "said Nurul."
