Headline Ethiopia's Crusade against Tuberculosis

Caption Description Tuberculosis is one of Ethiopia's major infectious diseases. It was found that of 114,580 people examined in 1963, 9,390 (or approximately 8%) of them were found to be victims of tuberculosis. As early as 1953, the Government, with the assistance of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), conducted a countrywide campaign to vaccinate people with BCG. Subsequently, the TB Demonstration and Training Centre was built by the Government in Addis Ababa, with equipment and medical supplies from WHO and UNICEF, to provide diagnostic services and treat ambulatory patients. The Centre also collects information on the incidence of tuberculosis throughout the country. In February 1963, the Centre extended its coverage to include the supervision of the newly-opened St. Peter's Tuberculosis Hospital. An important feature of the programme calls for training doctors, public health officers, community nurses, social workers and other medical personnel in techniques of tuberculosis prevention and treatment.
A social worker (standing) gives a talk on nutrition to patients to help teach them to make better use of vegetables, grain and fruits found in Ethiopia. The typical meal of the Ethiopian people consists of a pancake-like-bread called ""engera"" and ""wat"" (a highly spiced meat stew), rich in vitamin B and proteins but lacking in other essential vitamins and minerals. [c. October 1964]
