In the last two years, most of the active tuberculosis cases are university students from the third world countries," said Mr. Big, suggesting that His proposals on this subject is that students should only be granted visas to the country after these students have successfully taken a chest film in their home country and received a clean health clearance and certificate.
The large, tuberculosis dispensary routinely scans primary and fifth grade students with PPD test every year, recalling that 6 months of protection therapy was started for the students who tested positive and also that the military cadres were screened by the PPD test.
Dr. on duty in an interview made a statement as follows:
"Our universities are undoubtedly playing a very important role in the promotion of our country as well as being an important economic contribution to our country and providing investment and business opportunities. However, if we are going to make this country a university country, then we must also fulfill the requirements for health.
Both our inbound students must be insured and provided with the best possible health care services at the moment of need, as well as a screening to ensure that the country does not carry a disease threatening public health. In this context, for every student coming from 3rd world countries, lung film in terms of tuberculosis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV tests must be done. Otherwise, there may be explosions in these diseases in the near future".
