A trail based TB Center was established in 1993. But it was not full equipped with the necessary equipments.  Thus we could not get the accurate results from that method. However the diagnose system with the microscope started in 2001. But still there is a lack of staff for this department.  There should be at least one chest specialist in the district Ghizer. Then we could get ultimate results and proper treatment. 

He said that TB patient needs to be use his medicines till 8 months without any interval.  It will be high risk able if one dose not complete his doses. Almost 70% patients are dying due to the incomplete treatment.
