The action timed to the World Day of Struggle against Tuberculosis was held in Irkutsk on March, 24.
A white chamomile is a world symbol of struggle against tuberculosis and it gave the name to the action held by Irkutsk Regional Branch of the Russian Red Cross in the Irkutsk branch of the All-Russia State Institute of Cinematography.
Objective of the White Chamomile action was to deliver information on the necessity of timely medical investigation, on TB prevention measures and on propaganda of healthy way of life among youth in the understandable form.
The action was held in the form of "Informational Tent". Students were selecting the petals of chamomile with questions on TB and either gave their own answers, or were given an advice by a volunteer, if they did not know the answer. All the participants were given informational booklets with useful information on TB and HIV prevention, calendars with contact details of the Information and Consultancy Center "Stupeni", and sweet gifts.
