On the noticeboard at the Hohola Catholic health centre in Port Moresby is a sign that TB treatment takes 6 to 8 months.
We are usually told 6 months of daily treatment with TB drugs. If it can take 2 months more, the sufferer has to get advice of the doctor on when to cease medication.

I looked after Grace for 5 months before her fool father came and took her away without her medicine. He was a police chief inspector and drunk.
She died 5 weeks later. The family made excuses but it was that she finished her TB treatment perhaps 3 months early. She still had masses of mucus in her lungs.
A recent newspaper report pointed that so many people die after finishing their TB medication early and allowing the TB parasite to become immune. Please click:
