The team at people’s union for civil liberties which includes Mr. Babu Lal Verma and Mr. Pappu
(Centre for equity studies workers) first discovered a case near Mannsarovar metro station during
the street medicine program . The patient was suffering from continuous chest pain and chronic
cough . He was there in a very terrible state with no one to look after. During the visit to
mannsarovar in the street medicine programme the patient visited regularly with the same
problem and same symptoms . Our doctor suggested him to pay a visit to hospital as the
symptoms signifies him suffering from Tuberculosis. Patient was not capable enough to go pay a
regular visit to hospital and was not accustomed to the ways of treatment been done .So during
the follow up process which included two interns including myself and two other co ordinators
went to TB hospital, Subhash Nagar to get the treatment done . And made a proper treatment
done of TB where it was traced that he was actually suffering from the T.B. and after discussing
from him about his family past we came to know that his sister as well as his brother in law was
suffering from this same disease in past and now it got transferred to him .He has been suffering
from this disease from his childhood . He said he has gone for his treatment once already before
but did not recover properly.Talking about his addictions he said he had none . But now since he is
in good hand we expect him to recover soon and CEC team would take full care about his
medicines and time to time appointment with the doctors .
