3.2 THREE ELEMENT OF SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION OF TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL INTO PHC.
PHC concept has been widely accepted. Nearly three-quarters of developing countries have national plans indicating how extension and re-orientation of the existing health infrastructure will be undertaken to achieve the goals of PHC. However, progress in implementation has been slow. In this situation to successfully integrate tuberculosis control into PHC the following three elements are needed:
A. SET UP THE PHC INFRASTRUCTURE
｡?overnments need to take responsibility in establishing the PHC infrastructure.
｡?overnments must be financially committed to long-term PHC function.
｡?overnmental policies must emphasis the involvement and understanding of tuberculosis control of each individual in the various levels of profession. If the professional doctor doesn't understand their personal involvement in tuberculosis control it will quickly become burdensome and neglected.
