As part of an effort to prevent spread of tuberculosis in Mumbai, the public health department of the BMC will go door to door for medical check-ups. The survey will be conducted from 9 am to 4 pm.
The survey will start on November 15 and end on November 25. About 17 lakh people within the areas—where the effect of TB is relatively more—will be tested for TB. Around 876 teams will be working on this survey. “If a person is not home, the team will visit again,” said Dr Mangala Gomare, BMC’s executive health officer.
