Correspondent
KORAPUT: An effective media can raise the awareness level and can also bring about sustainable behaviour change in society, Rabi Narayan Das, CDMO, Koraput, said at the district level media sensitisation programme on TB & HIV/AIDS at Korpaut on Wednesday .
While the threat of these symptoms was on the rise in Koraput district, media had the capability to bring about transformation in the thinking pattern of society in respect to the people living with HIV/AIDS .
Attending as guest of honour, Niranjan Das, ADMO, said that while there were at least 30,000 TB patients in Koraput district with 650 of them losing their lives to the disease every year for irregular medicine intake and negligent attitude towards the disease , media could bring a change by sensitizing people in this regard .
The programme was organised by Lepra Society .
