00:00 And tuberculosis is still a threat in the Philippines, especially with the increasing number of cases of disease in the country.

00:07 Even so, it can be treated if it is prevented.

00:11 Mary Zumali was on the scene.

00:13 If her partner has not yet confirmed that she has tuberculosis or TB, she will not be allowed to test Jojin this February 2022.

00:24 She has no symptoms like nausea and vomiting. But TB was not the only thing she discovered, she is now drug resistant.

00:32 This means that first-line anti-TB drugs are not effective.

00:36 Even though she is still healthy, it would be better if she was discovered early if they immediately asked her to partner.

00:43 Once you have tuberculosis, it's like you are being bullied by many people. That's the stigma.

00:50 Experts are now campaigning to remove such view on TB,

00:55 which is the reason for the lack of treatment for hundreds of TB patients who are still infected with others.

01:01 According to the Department of Health, as of December 31, 2023, the number of new cases of tuberculosis reached 612,534.

01:11 This is 549 cases per 100,000 population, higher than in 2022, which has 439 cases per 100,000 population.

01:22 The increased tripling of TB cases is alarming. Not only does it cause cavitation in the lung, it can go to your brain with TB meningitis.

01:31 It can go to your intestines with ileocecal TB or it can go to your liver.

01:36 Tuberculosis, which is airborne, is not getting the same type of attention as COVID because we are all at risk.

01:42 But like what Joe Jill proved, TB can be treated. She took her medicine for 10 months before she became TB-free.

01:50 You're able to get the x-ray and get the molecular confirmation.

01:54 The second stop is that at least 99% of those that get diagnosed get the medications.

02:01 And the third really option is really TB prevention.

02:04 The x-ray is only a few seconds long, as was done by Health Secretary Herbosa and Dr. Luchika De Tio of Stop TB Partnership in a mobile van.

02:14 21 of these are being transported around the country, as well as 50 portable x-rays for the less-affected areas.

02:21 In a matter of 10 seconds, and when it's normal, the patient can be relieved that they have no symptoms.

02:26 They can proceed on, if it's abnormal, this is then followed up with a microbiological test, a confirmatory test, and a physician can see it.

02:32 This is free, so don't be afraid to get a checkup.

02:36 If you have a disease, you can get the medicine immediately, which should be continuous until the TB is gone, if you don't want to go home because of the unregulated antibiotic.

02:45 Don't wait for the vaccine that is expected to be released in 2028 so that others won't get infected.

02:52 We're trying to align with the global, that's the end TB in 2030. Yes, we can end TB.

02:59 For GMA Integrated News, Mariz Umali for Tutok, 24 hours.
