STORYLINE:
Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has made great efforts to contain tuberculosis (TB) outbreaks.
In 2016, Xinjiang initiated free health checkups for all residents and has continued to expand the coverage of TB screenings under this initiative.
The provision of free medicine and breakfast for TB patients has since become a common practice in southern Xinjiang's rural areas.
Early detection of the disease remains one of the most effective methods for prevention and control. A large number of experts are dispatched across Xinjiang to assist local medical workers with the checkups.
According to the preventive strategies of the World Health Organization, directly observed treatment has been introduced in the region. Villag
