WORLD HEALTH DAY, 7 April, 2012
  Message from Minister for Health, Lyonpo Zangley Dukpa

Ageing and health-to which each and every one of us can relate to- is the theme of this year’s World Health Day. Ageing is a natural phenomenon and an inevitable process. Healthy ageing involves the journey of human life itself, right from mother’s womb till death encompassing physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual experiences. It is about growing old happily and passing on what he or she has learned throughout life. This day emphasizes healthy and productive living which entails, besides enabling older men and women to live longer, making active contributions by the old to their families, peers, communities and the nation.

World TB Day 2012 24th March 2012 – “Stop TB in my lifetime”.

MESSAGE FROM LYONPO ZANGLEY DUKPA, HONOURABLE MINISTER OF HEALTH

Today as we join the global community in observing the World TB Day 2012, I would like to applaud the effort and dedication of our health workers and the continued support from both national and international agencies in Bhutan’s fight against TB. We have made considerable progress and surpassed the global targets of case detection and treatment success rate, and reduced the deaths due to TB as well. The case detection rate in 2011 is 73% and treatment success rate for 2010 is 90%. The mortality rate due to TB among lung TB patients has also been reduced to 3% as compared to 5% in 2005. A total of 1250 cases of TB were diagnosed and put on treatment in 2011.
This year’s Theme “Stop TB in my lifetime” calls for greater action to stop the spread of TB with focus on childhood TB as there is evidence that the number of children becoming ill and dying of TB is much higher than currently detected. We must, therefore, ensure that all children affected by TB are detected in time and receive quality treatment and care.

Although we have made great progress in the fight against TB, the emergence of TB/HIV co-infections and the increasing trend of MDR-TB (Multi-drug resistant TB) are posing a threat to TB control efforts. MDR-TB is a form of TB which usually develops when TB patients do not take their medicines regularly as prescribed. The treatment of MDR-TB is often difficult and the duration is 24 months, three times longer than that of treating a normal TB case. The medicines required are 100 times expensive than that of normal TB case, and are toxic which could cause severe side effects. Therefore, we need to prevent and control the spread of MDR-TB.

TB is a disease that can be easily prevented and cured. A full course of regular treatment through DOT (Directly Observed Treatment) ensures cure, prevents the spread of TB and prevents progression to MDR-TB. DOT is the backbone of TB control. In DOT, the patient is physically supervised by a health worker or any identified DOT provider to ensure intake of TB medicines.

The Ministry of Health reaffirms our commitment to stopping TB and request all our partners for their continued support in the fight against TB. I also urge our health workers to practice DOT diligently, thus ensuring proper treatment for all TB patients. Lastly, I would like to call upon all concerned for our collective efforts in combating this age old disease and make Bhutan TB free.

“Let us unite to Stop TB”.
