HOW TUBERCULOSIS CAN BE FOUGHT
Rangoon, like Hongkong, has ja 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 custorm, 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- in loxis is about the same as Hongkong, or slightly less; it has grown enormously in the past twenty
Recently, years, medical man gave an illuminat- ing address to the Rangoon Rotary Club on the subject of combating the disease, and some of the suggestions he put for- ward are worthy of note by the

Such a schemo, 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. Thia is suggested as only part of bigger general scheme, which could be carried out in stages. Under this method, a start could be made by the provision of tuberculosis dis- pensaries; compulsory notifien- tion of pulmonary tuberculosis;; and the creation of an anti- tuberculosis organisation, which would engage in propaganda and render financial aid to fami- lies whose bread-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.
