Before the treatment of TB ( DOT):-

I belong to a poor family. My parents expired due to TB a few years back. I am living with my maternal uncle who takes care of me. After the death of my parents I became sick due to cough and fever. I had nothing for the treatment and I did not know where to go for treatment. I was very weak and thought that I would die of the sickness. I was living under the mercy of God. During this time my paternal uncle told me that there is a TB treatment center in Baghera run by KNEUS and free treatment is available. I was taken by my uncle to this centre for check up.

The doctor examined me and I was asked to give sputum for TB diagnose. I did give sputum for check up of TB. After the sputum check up I was told that I was having TB and I had to take DOT. I thought that was the end of my life. I was discouraged. The doctor and the staff at Bhagera encouraged me and told that I would be cured within six months if I take DOT regularly.

When the treatment for TB was started I was very weak and could not even walk for ten minutes. I used to get collapsed if I would walk. I used to come either with my uncle or any villagers by bi-cycle to the TB center for regular treatment. After one month of my treatment I felt some change in me and I was able to walk and do some work by myself. I was indeed very happy. As I was feeling better and able to walk and do the work I used to come to the TB center all alone by bi-cycle and took treatment.

During the treatment I was examined regularly and given tonic to regain my lost strength. I am thankful to the staff of the TB center for taking utmost care of my health by providing tonic and proper medicines free of cost. At the completion of six month treatment my sputum was examined and the doctor informed me that I was completely cured from TB. I did not know whom to thank. Actually it was God who brought me to this TB center and got me treated and I became absolutely cured from this sickness. I felt lots of relief and thought if my parents would get like this treatment they too would have been alive.

After the treatment:-

The life which I am living now is a new life. I will never forget the suffering which I underwent due to TB. Now I am able to lead a normal life and working for the livelihood. I am also motivating the villagers about the treatment available and good service of the TB center at Bhagera. I explain to the villagers about the TB treatment and I strongly believe that TB is curable 100%. I am very grateful to the doctor and the staff at Bhagera.

Before taking treatment of TB ( DOT):-

I am a farmer and was suffering from cough and became very weak. Due to my weakness I was not able to do any work in the field and look after my family. While I used to cough blood would come out of my mouth and took treatment from many doctors. I took treatment from Jhansi, Gursarai, Peepra but in vain. After spending a lot of money for my sickness as I was purchasing medicines from Sachan Medical Store in Bhagera, I was told to visit Kusht Niyantran Evum Unmoolan Samiti’s TB center at Bhagera. First I thought it is useless to go there because I had spent a lot of money on my sickness and no use. But I wanted to try at his TB center too. So I visited one day and the doctor asked me to give sputum for check up. I was informed if I had TB I needed to take six months treatment regularly. I promised to take treatment if I was diagnosed of TB, because wherever I took treatment no doctor diagnosed for TB.

When the sputum result was declared that I had TB I could not believe that I was affected by TB. So doctor asked me to stop all the previous treatment and take DOT regularly. I agreed for the treatment. The TB treatment was free and I was given tonic too for my health. I took regular TB drugs for six months and to my surprise I was cured completely from the disease. I looked back at what happened when I spent a lot of money on my sickness and thanked the doctor and staff at Bhagera. I must thank the Medical Shop owner for directing me to this TB center.

After the treatment:-

I regained my lost strength and could do the work properly. I along with my family are happy again as my sickness being cured completely. Now I am able to perform my work in the field. I have pledged to motivate the villagers to come to the TB center if anyone has prolonged cough and fever for TB check up. As I suffered and spent money unnecessarily I try my best to help others to have check up at the Bhagera TB center. I am thankful to God, doctor and the staff at Bhagera TB center for the good treatment I received.

The real life story of mine is worth reading. I am Usha Devi, mother of three siblings, from a poor family background and my husband works in Mumbai as a carpenter. I was sick for a long time and my husband had spent enough on my sickness. When he learnt that I was not getting well and thought I would die, he decided to leave me and marry someone else. And finally he got married to someone in Mumbai. He has two kids from the second marriage. His parents too supported him to get married because he had spent enough and more money on me.

My sickness was not diagnosed properly and I was taking treatment for the wrong sickness. One day along with one of my neighbors I landed up at the TB center of KNEUS, located on the main road of Sinduriya – Maharajganj, narrating the typical tale of the lady and her family. I was weighed and the weighing machine showed just 30 kg. It was true that I would not survive with long duration of sickness.

As the doctor diagnoses for any other patients I too was asked to give sputum for examination. The sputum was examined at the laboratory of KNEUS and the result was positive. So, the doctor and the staff motivated me to take treatment regularly for six months for which I agreed and started the treatment. I was regular in taking treatment and I showed sufficient progress. Meanwhile my husband learnt that I was under treatment for TB and getting better, he was in a dilemma whether to accept me. Still he is in a dilemma only.

After the completion of the treatment I was declared cured and I weighed 39 kg. Whoever knew me was surprised to learn that I was cured and looking better. I look after my children and living a normal life with Umesh, my husband. Though two wives this man has, DOT united me and my children with my husband. I am very grateful to Sinduriya TB center and the staff run by KNEUS.

A strong will power made me to get back what I lost. This is happened with the free treatment of DOT and the available free OPD in this poor segment of Sinduriya of Maharajganj District.
