To mark the World TB Day on Saturday (March 24), the Disease Control Department and the Suvarnabhumi International Airport on Wednesday jointly launched a campaign to create public awareness of the prevalence of the disease and to prove TB screening to public transport drivers.

 

Disease Control Department director-general Dr Suwanchai Wattanayingcharoenchai admitted that tuberculosis remains a health threat for Thailand, with about 120,000 new cases each year and about 12,000 fatalities annually. Of these, there are about 4,700 cases of drug resistance TB.

 

He disclosed that the Ministry of Public Health had set a national strategy for 2017-2021, with a target to reduce TB cases by 12.5 percent per annum or 171 cases per a population of 100,000 to 88 cases within 2021 in cooperation with both public and private sectors and communities.

How about a drug test too.

The original plan was to X-ray their skulls but initial shots proved blank.....

So, need to wait for World Ya Ba day for that free check?
