Mulika TB! Maliza TB! is Swahili for: Find TB! Treat TB!

This innovative campaign is being carried out

nationwide to increase awareness and the number

of people tested for TB until people with TB are

cured. Symbolic TB Torches were released to

10 high-burden counties across Kenya to symbolise

the commitment of the government and its partners

towards ending TB.

TB is an infection in the lungs that can make you sick.

Many people show signs, but for many others, TB hides and

may make them sick later. TB spreads from person to person

in the air when someone coughs or sneezes. When your child

inhales the bacteria in the air, they can become sick too.

Anyone can get TB. Every year, thousands of children in Kenya

get TB, and many die. When your child inhales the bacteria in

the air, they can become sick too. But there is good news:

your child can be treated and cured if you get them tested.

Children can get TB at home, at

school, or any other place children

spend their time. If you, anyone

in the house, at work, or at school

have TB, your child might have it

too. Some children with TB seem

sick, but others do not. If you’re

not sure, the best way to protect

your child is to ask for a TB check-up.

What is tuberculosis(TB)?

What signs to look for

A cough

Loss of weight

Fever or night sweats

Irritability and reduced playfulness

There is now a medicine made just for children. It’s a tablet

that dissolves in water, and tastes like fruit. So it’s easy for

the caregiver to give to the child.

TB treatment in all government health facilities is free.

TB can be cured

If you or anyone in the house, at work, or at school has TB,

your child might have it too.

Some children with TB seem sick, but others do not. If you’re

not sure, the best way to protect your child is to ask for a

TB check-up.

TB treatment in all government health facilities is free.

If you have TB or any of the signs of TB, take your children

with you to the nearest health facility for testing. Getting

them tested can ensure that they receive treatment and

get cured if they too have TB.

There are over 4,000 health facilities offering TB services in Kenya.

What you should do

What to remember

TB can be treated and cured

Anyone can get TB; even children are at risk

If your child, or someone close to them, has signs of TB, get your child tested

In Kenya, child-friendly TB medicines are now available

Play it safe— take your child to a health facility

Make sure you finish the full treatment so that you get rid of all the TB bacteria. This way, you avoid getting TB again
