Intensified State TB X Ray Drive Begins in East Providence
An intensified tuberculosis detection program starts in Rhode Island with a mobile chest X ray unit visiting eight communities by year end. Dr Florian G Ruest says surveys last one to six weeks focus on free chest X rays for adults, aiming to uncover unknown active TB cases and curb spread. The chestmobile visits Newport and East Providence with public sessions in the coming weeks and a schedule spanning Newport, Warwick, Barrington, Tiverton, Narragansett, South Kingstown, Cranston, and Woonsocket through autumn.
