It is the responsibility of the patients too..You cannot blame the govt, doctors and workers for this. seo | kabin

Anonymous 5 March 2012 - 6:30pm

Govt. of India has started DOT programme to monitor TB patients, and workers make sure that the patients take ATT daily by visiting their homes or making them visit them. Still some patients stop taking the treatment or leave the place. These patients become resistant to drugs..Govt. of India realises this fully and we have regular seminars to impart training to doctors and workers. It is the responsibility of the patients too..You cannot blame the govt, doctors and workers for this.
