County Nearly Lost Entire Program Mobile X Ray Unit
The West Virginia State Health Department mobile X ray unit faces funding limits and will be stationed only on Beckley streets this October. At a Raleigh County Tuberculosis Association board meeting, Mrs. Walter James and Dr. C. C. Lewis outlined plans with the department, noting prior county trips and scaled back service due to budget constraints. Dr. Albert D. Kistin reported on the Arden House Conference addressing isoniazid use against TB, its efficacy, safety, and cost, and urged improved detection, isolation, and community health measures to advance eradication efforts. The cheaper INH treatment, potentially $7.50 per person annually, was highlighted along with ongoing gaps in case registers and patient management.
