00:00TB and other diseases are still a big threat in the country,

00:11especially those who are afraid of the so-called medical expenses.

00:16Let the Department of Health remind you that there are free medicines in health centers.

00:22Your GMA Kapusu Foundation is ready to help.

00:30According to the Department of Health,

00:32there are more than 100 cases of bronchial asthma,

00:36or HICA,

00:37reported from December 21, 2024

00:41until January 6, 2025

00:44from the eight Sentinel Hospitals monitored by the agency.

00:49One of the main reasons is the heavy smoke

00:53from the fireworks during the New Year celebration.

00:56It is a sign of allergens, difficulty breathing,

01:00or shortness of breath.

01:04Volcanic ash can also cause asthma.

01:08So for those who live near the volcano Kanlaon and Taal,

01:12the advice is to wear a face mask when the volcanoes erupt.

01:19You will have what is called anthracosis.

01:22The silica goes to your lungs

01:26and it is permanently trapped there.

01:28Later on in life, it can cause chronic pulmonary disease.

01:33These diseases are now monitored by the DOH,

01:38including tuberculosis or TB.

01:42There are projects by the agency for this,

01:45such as TB detection and free medicines in TB dots centers.

01:50Our problem is that we have a lot of fallouts.

01:53You treat them, and after one to two months,

01:56you feel good, you don't have any more fallout,

01:59you don't have any more fever,

02:00and they stop coming.

02:02You need six to nine months to completely treat TB.

02:07For those of us who need medical assistance,

02:11you can leave a message on the GMA Kapuso Foundation

02:16official Facebook page

02:18under our Kapuso Kalusugan Konsulta Project.

02:23And to those who support our projects,

02:26you can deposit in our bank accounts

02:29or send to Cebuana Lawyer.

02:32You can also do it online via Gcash, Shopee, Lazada, and Globe Rewards.
