| Summary |
Steps to address Tuberculosis (TB) systematically in Benede Oranje region. |
| More Details |
TB has been identified as the most important health problem facing the Benede Oranje region/district in the Northern Cape province. In 1996 the district reported a staggeringly high incidence of 1 160 cases per 100 000 people compared to an estimated 340 cases per 100 000 people for the rest of the province (Tuberculosis Research Programme, MRC).
ISDS has been working with the district in an effort to reduce the incidence of TB. Although long-term solutions to the problem will depend on poverty reduction and improvements in living conditions, the district team believes that their first task is to ensure an efficient district level TB control programme. |
