TBpeople Philippines Collaborates with Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) to Implement Tuberculosis Control Measures in the Workplace

The TBpeople Philippines team recently held a significant meeting with the staff of the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) to discuss and implement tuberculosis (TB) control measures in the workplace. This collaboration marks a vital step toward improving health and safety for employees.


TBpeople Philippines initiatives aim to provide TB education to employees and share TB awareness in the workplace. In the meeting with PITX staff, the team took the opportunity to introduce the organization and its role in TB control within various community settings, including workplaces.

The meeting concluded with a mutual understanding of the importance of TB control in the workplace. The PITX office, now equipped with knowledge and tools provided by TBpeople Philippines, is better prepared to handle TB cases and prevent the spread of the disease among its employees. This collaborative effort sets a positive example for other organizations to follow, highlighting the importance of workplace health initiatives in combating TB.

TBpeople Philippines remains committed to its mission of eradicating tuberculosis and will continue to work closely with various stakeholders to achieve a TB-free Philippines..
