Health Education Section

Mr. M. B. Naidu        :    Health Education Officer

Health Education about TB & RNTCP is being given to the patients, their relatives, friends and companions.  Health Education plays a vital role in treatment of tuberculosis. This department has developed many leaflets & pamphlets to educate patients. These health education materials are regularly distributed to the patients.

Short video films and TB, AIDS, No Smoking / Tobacco, Asthma etc. are being screened regularly to create awareness to the patients and their relatives in OPD from 9.00am to 1.00pm during patients waiting period.

All doctors communicate through Public  Address System (P.A.System) installed in the OPD rooms ( for all doctors ) to call patients. After diagnosis all patients attending in OPD are referred for health education in Room no.107. After imparting health education patients are referred to their nearby DOT Centres for further treatment regularly.

Nursing Students from R.A.K. College of Nursing,New Delhi were posted for two weeks in three batches for their group project in LRS Institute, during their posting students nurses  are being trained in (I.E.C) health education activities for group presentation and they perform role play in OPD to create awareness to the patients and the relatives on TB and its sign and symptoms, diagnosis, spreadness and treatment.
