The Rural Doctor Initiative(RDI) in conjunction with the Kateri medical services, in a bid to improve the health statistics in the community it is hosted in, rolled out a program to join forces with the global community to end the spread of TB and achieve the SDG targets.
A two-day awareness and sensitization seminar was organized for two secondary schools located in the rural areas of Southern kaduna. Senior students of these secondary schools who reside in far off villages were targeted. The event was well attended and largely interactive. RDI was amazed at the level of intelligence exhibited by both schools. Smart questions were asked and brilliant answers elicited.

We took the message down to the students in some rural community in kaduna, in two different secondary schools. We are proud to say they now know the basics of Tuberculosis.
Over 10m people fell ill with tuberculosis world wide, 1.4m died of TB and 465,000 were diagnosed with drug resistant TB in 2019 only, a public health crisis!
