On April 16, 2021, at the Karaganda Industrial University, a meeting of student youth with a phthisiatrician of the branch of the regional center of phthisiopulmonology in Temirtau Kenzhebaeva Saule Aimanovna was held. The topic of the meeting was «Tuberculosis and its prevention», since at present tuberculosis is one of the most common infectious diseases, characterized by damage to all tissue organs, but most often lungs, a variety of clinical symptoms, and intoxication.

The purpose of the event is to explain to the younger generation the causes and sources of tuberculosis infection, preventive measures, as well as the consequences of this disease for society and individuals.

During the meeting, Saule Aimanovna spoke in detail about the occurrence of the disease and the ways of its transmission. She explained the basic rules for the prevention of tuberculosis, acquainted with the current statistics of morbidity and mortality from it in the city of Temirtau and the Karaganda region.

Our students took an active part and asked questions, to which they received detailed answers from a phthisiatrician.

At the end of the event, Saule Aimanovna Kenzhebaeva wished good health to the participants. She reminded that, like any disease, tuberculosis is easier to prevent than to cure, and careful attention to your health, correct lifestyle, rejection of bad habits and an active life position will help prevent the risk of tuberculosis, summing up the words «Our health is in our hands!»

The event ended with the distribution of information leaflets, memos and booklets dedicated to the prevention of tuberculosis.
