Abstract
A concrete strategy for Tuberculosis control programme on the total population of 280, 000 in Syanja District of Gandaki Zone, Nepal, was discussed.The programme, manned by 25 members, started October 17, 1976, will be enforced on the following items until April 12, 1977.1. BCG vaccination of children under 15 years of age (Direct Vaccination).2. Case finding by direct smear examination of sputum and the medical treatment of patient found.The levels of prevention of Tuberculosis in developing countries, like Nepal, are of course not necessary to be relied on the sophisticated latest medical technology. Smear test of sputum for example will be done before chest X-ray examination can be carried out.In a country where the budgetary allowances can not allocate periodical chest X-ray examination, the mass vaccination of BCG to the young population and case finding survey followed by sputum examination will be most suitable and pertinent levels of application in preventing Tuberculosis infection.
