through precautionary measures. Talking to reporter here on Wednesday, he said that tuberculosis (TB) is a very old disease that still has a grip on the public. In Sargodha, in 2023, approximately 13,000 patients contracted TB, and these patients were recovering by getting free medication from government hospitals, Dr Sikandar said. He said that the most important way to control the disease is to start treatment as soon as possible.
