The Dispensary is intended to be a centre for:—
(1) Examination of suspects.
(2) Examination and supervision of definite cases of Tuberculosis;
including the arrangement of residential
treatment when necessary, and supervision thereafter.
(3) Treatment of cases of Tuberculosis for whom no other provision
is made, i.e., uninsured adults and children who
have no private practitioner.
As Tuberculosis is a chronic disease it is unnecessary for patients
receiving treatment to attend at frequent intervals, except in a few
cases.
