From tomorrow, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will introduce Bedaquiline, the first tuberculosis (TB) drug available in 40 years, at Sewri TB hospital and more than 100 patients from seven city wards will be selected for the medication over the year.
Officials from BMC?s health department said that the theme of the campaign to fight TB slated for next year will be ?Find TB, treat TB, work to eliminate TB?. ?A house-to-house survey in the 12 high risk wards will be launched from April, with the help of NGOs,? said Sanjay Deshmukh, additional municipal commissioner, while addressing a press conference Saturday.
