# Tuberculosis: Prevention (Bệnh Ho Lao: Phòng Bệnh)

A line-drawn health sheet (code SP-997) titled 'Tuberculosis: Prevention' arranges six hexagonal panels around a central syringe: chest X-ray, medical examination, adequate food and rest, sleeping apart from the sick, boiling utensils, and BCG vaccination, with the central panel labelled tuberculin injection. The sheet gives practical instructions and makes no political claim. Its only persuasion lies in the pictured protective steps.
