INTENSIFIED CAMPAIGN
AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS
(British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.20 a.m.) RUGBY, April 29
The Minister of Health (Mr Brown) announced that his department was conducting an intensified campaign against tuberculosis. He said that while deaths from all forms of tuberculosis in 1942 had considerably decreased compared with the previous two years, there could be no assurance, under war conditions, that the death rate would not tend to rise again. The Ministry, therefore, was introducing the newest method of chest examination, by miniature X-ray filming, and was starting a scheme of special allowances, enabling people to obtain, free of financial anxiety, treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis.
