Staff at Raihu Health Center have made the current tuberculosis (TB) programme work for the majority of patients. A variety of health education techniques have been developed. Follow-up has been strengthened in several ways. Initiative and enthusiasm must come from officers-in-charge of health centers to make TB control programmes work. Effective health education, efficient field follow-up and an operational Aid Post set-up are vital for the successful control of tuberculosis, whatever drugs or regimes are in use.
