Extract

The WHO Expert Committee on Tuberculosis met in Copenhagen from July 26 to July 30, 1949, and drew up a series of measures designed to strengthen health administration in underdeveloped countries. A plan stressing the importance of health education and of training public health personnel provided that a tuberculosis control scheme in underdeveloped countries start with a survey of the needs, resources, and attitudes of the people. Plans were also made to carry forward tuberculin-testing and BCG vaccination. These measures were to be submitted to the Executive Board of WHO in January.
