All those positive for PPD reaction will be included in the Anti-TB program.

Those identified for TB will be registered for treatment. Their parents and kasambahay will be assisted in consulting the local health center for sputum testing.
We enjoin other MMF Core Groups to join this activity to observe the process by which North B implemented this program. Please contact Bro Ting Villafuerte cvillafuertemd(at)yahoo.com for details.
