About TB Care
In the early years, SANTA also launched health education programmes, managed TB prevention schemes, trained health educators and did TB prevention programmes in schools throughout South Africa. Now over half a century since it was formed, SANTA continues its fight against TB but with a new emphasis. In addition to feeding schemes, its care work and awareness programmes, SANTA are training volunteers in DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short-course). Volunteers in SANTA branches around the country are helping TB sufferers in their communities by making sure that they take TB drugs.
