This painting captures the themes of tuberculosis (TB) prevention and management. On the left, a woman in a red top is depicted practicing cough etiquette by covering her mouth with her elbow, an effective measure to prevent the spread of airborne diseases like TB. On the right, a man in a blue shirt uses an inhaler, suggesting he might be managing the respiratory effects of TB. The contrasting blue backgrounds might symbolize the dual aspects of TB: the risk of transmission and the personal challenge of managing the disease. The red "no" sign above the man emphasizes the need for prevention and the obstacles faced by individuals living with TB. This artwork thoughtfully highlights the importance of public health measures and individual responsibility in combating tuberculosis.
