This initiative comes after Daru Island was flagged as a TB hot spot in 2014 and later declared as a national public health emergency in 2015.
The systemic screening will be done in a mobile van equipped with computer aided x-ray and electronic medical tools.
This will enable the detection of more cases at the earliest and also give a clear understanding on the disease burden in Daru.
The introduction of this innovation will pave the path for newer diagnostics, new drugs and quick response in treatment and management.
