Between July 2006 and June 2007, official figures say, a total of 102,785 new smear-positive cases were detected. Planned activities: 1. We should include radio service, school students and religious leaders in the anti-tuberculosis campaign with simple and catchy communication terms to reach the large segment of the mass people. 2. We will be work in a more consolidated and concerted way to fight the scourge of TB. 3. More interaction will be made among all the stakeholders to ensure health service to the commoners. 4.
