Rangoon, like Hongkong, has a tuberculosis problem, but, un- like this Colony, it is taking steps to see how best the scourge can be countered. A tubercu losis survey is shortly to com-: mence, and it is hoped to discover from this investigation whether the prevalence of the disease is due to some particular social custom, habits of the people in matters of diet and general liv- ing, defective housing, or par- ticipation in any particular trade or industry. The death- rate in Rangoon from tubercu- osis is about the same RM in ilongkong, or slightly less; it has grown enormously in the past

One of the proposals was the creation of home hospitals, the object of which is to treat the family as a unit so that there need be no necessity to break up the home, due regard being paid to the question of accessibility, which is important from the working- man's point of view. Sufferers only in the Incipient or quies- cent stage of the disease would be taken into these centres, be- ing housed in sanitary buildings at reduced rents and taught the principles of healthy living, especially in such mutters sleeping arrangements, the dis- infection of sputum and sputum flasks, as well as other elemen- tary

Such a scheme. it is contended, could be made to a great extent self-supporting, as the residents | would pay low rentals, and it' would be capable of expansion without being a serious financial burden. This is suggested as only part of a bigger general schenie, which could be carried' out in stages. Under this method, a start could be made by the provision of tuberculosis dis- pensaries; compulsory notifica- tion of pulmonary tuberculosis; anti- and the creation of an tuberculosis organisation, which would engage in propaganda and render financial aid to fami- lies whose brend-winners are These undergoing treatment. measures, coupled with the pro- vision of home hospitals, could, it is contended, be put into force within a year.
