AB :

TB patients do not go to the TB clinic for treatment for fear of social boycott from their friends and relatives. Therefore, there is a need to create community worker groups to impart health education and create confidence among patients and the population. Such groups, formed at one each for one hundred thousand persons, could encourage the patients to seek treatment and assist in providing the needed medication. Creating rehabilitation centers to help affected families add to their earnings and fund-raising are suggested measures to control TB.
