BIRGUNJ: A programme ‘Enhancing Access to the Treatment of Tuberculosis’ has been implemented in Parsa with a view to contribute in the prevention and control of tuberculosis by increasing the access of its patients to the Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS) .

The strategic plan is to cover the tuberculosis patients, who are out of the use of DOTS treatment system, in the access enhancing programme, according to District Public Health Office, Parsa.

"The programme has been executed focusing on tuberculosis patients, who could not have been included in the DOTS treatment system, as its long-term execution is complicated and challenging question’ , said Tuberculosis Officer at the District Health Office, Shahbudin Mikarani.

Total 897 TB patients have been included in the DOTS in the fiscal year 2010-11.
