Lesson 8 I had to reflect at the social harms we had to deal with at sour  site and what comes to my mind is one patient who was an MDR TB trial participant  who was very ill. The doctors from the site had to book him off work because of his health condition. He was unhappy because  of the type of work he was doing was  no work no pay and he was a bread winner at home, he just wanted to back to work.   The clinical site socialworker had to intervine  and discuss with his HR to discuss if  there was any form of income he could recieve from work because he was the breadwinner at home. Patient was advised to go to the department labour  and he benefited  from the uneployment insurance fund. He was not even aware of this fund.
