Miss South Africa fights stigma against TB via SABCNewsOnline

Green says she kept quiet about it. However, she says her family and two friends finally helped her deal with the disease .

“I was very emotional when I spoke about it for the first time, because I felt stigmatised. So, I have been trying to encourage everyone out there who either has the disease or has a family member, lost someone to this disease, not be afraid of it. Whenever I can, at any event, I go out and spread the word that TB can affect anyone. It doesn’t discriminat; most importantly, it’s curable.”
