Today, we stand together in raising awareness about Tuberculosis (TB) — a serious but preventable and curable disease that continues to affect millions worldwide.

TB commonly affects the lungs and spreads through the air when a person with active TB coughs or sneezes. Knowing the symptoms can save lives. Watch out for:
✔️ Persistent cough (lasting 2 weeks or more)
✔️ Fever
✔️ Night sweats
✔️ Unexplained weight loss

Early detection and proper treatment are key to stopping the spread. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms, seek medical consultation immediately. Testing and treatment are available, and completing the full course of medication is essential for recovery.

Let’s break the stigma, spread awareness, and support one another in the fight against TB. 💙
Together, let’s stop TB!

Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection that can easily spread in school settings. Let’s stay alert and practice proper hygiene, vaccination, and early care to protect our ICC community.

If your child experiences symptoms such as fever, headache, fatigue, or itchy blister-like rashes, please consult a physician immediately and observe proper isolation.

🔔 Important Reminder:
If in any case a student is diagnosed with Chickenpox (Varicella), a Medical Certificate with “FIT TO SCHOOL” clearance must be secured before returning to class. The certificate must be submitted to the Health Services Office for proper documentation and monitoring.
Let’s work together to keep everyone safe and healthy. 💙
