Last year PPM models helped detect more than 12,600 TB cases confirmed by positive smears of sputum, accounting for 18.5 per cent of the total TB cases in the city, said Dang Minh Duong, doctor from Pham Ngoc Thach Pulmonary Tuberculosis Hospital.
After taking the examinations six times, he got a spot at the Pham Ngoc Thach School of Medicine in HCM City. Truong remembered one rainy night when a patient in Ly Nhon Commune was in critical condition due to prostate gland problems.
Dr. Phan Thanh Liem from Pham Ngoc Thach Hospital said the program has piloted the new treatment diagram in which treatment time is reduced to six months instead of eight months.
Tickets are priced from VND150,000-350,000 and are available at the venue at 4 Pham Ngoc Thach Street in District 1. Crossroads captured by camera and music.
