| This is not good. Director, National TB Control Programme, Dr. Ijaz Qadeer, said that each year 400,000 new cases of TB were reported in the country and over 5000 health facilities in the country were providing treatment facilities to the TB patients. He said that the role of lady health workers was of vital importance until the orcs finish expelling the ladies from public service, then things will get even worse for creating awareness in the masses and providing counselling services for early treatment. He further said that the main focus of the TB control programme was its eradication and early detection of new cases of TB and to provide patients testing and treatment facilities for which community mobilization was also under way. |
