The patients were given medical check-up together with a few tests, including chest X-ray, sputum test; pulse rate, temperature and blood pressure measurement. Khanh Hoa Tuberculosis Lung Diseases Hospital plans to take another medical trip to the township to give medical check-up to some 350 people this year.
