Tuberculosis (TB) Screening & Diagnosis Package
Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially serious infectious disease that can affect the lungs and other parts of the body. Early screening and accurate diagnosis can help identify TB at the right stage and support timely medical care.
What Does TB Screening Include?
A TB screening and diagnosis package is designed to assess individuals who may have symptoms or risk factors associated with tuberculosis. Depending on the patient's symptoms and clinical history, the evaluation may include a medical consultation, physical assessment, chest imaging, sputum testing, or other investigations recommended by the doctor.
Who May Need TB Screening?
TB testing may be recommended for people experiencing persistent cough, fever, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or prolonged respiratory symptoms. Screening can also be considered for individuals who have been exposed to someone with TB or have other risk factors identified by a healthcare professional.

If you have symptoms suggestive of TB or have been exposed to tuberculosis, consult a qualified healthcare professional for appropriate evaluation and testing.
