Don’t delay seeking a diagnosis

Prince Nhlanganiso Zulu (son of the late Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini) was diagnosed with TB in 2010.

He spent three months in hospital before having one of his lungs surgically removed.

“TB treatment normally takes six months, but it took me nine months because one of my lungs had collapsed, and it had to be removed. TB doesn’t care about family status. I have no idea how I acquired TB, but it being airborne means that it could have come from anywhere.

The major role in my successful TB treatment was a religious dose of medications and a good diet. My message to the world is to take care of your health – don’t delay seeking a diagnosis if you are showing any TB symptoms.”
