Headline India: "Against the bad cough" by Paul Almasy, 1959 
Description India against the bad cough - In 1959, India had over 5 million cases of tuberculosis. Two thirds of her population were carriers of virulent tuberculosis bacilli. By systematically vaccinating the rising generation and with the help of chemotherapy, India was hoping gradually to redress the balance. Mobile X-ray units went from village to village, young sociologists convinced the inhabitants that they should not dissimulate the disease; visiting nurses made sure that the sick followed their treatment. But housing and sanitation sometimes left much to be desired and efforts had to be intensified if the disease was to be brought under control. Our photos show what has been done, with WHO help, in the district of Tumkur, State of Mysore, to fight tuberculosis.

Investigators go from house to house in the village of Bellavi questioning the people and inquiring about the health of the family. They explain the aim of the anti-tuberculosis campaign and distribute small containers for collecting sputa intended for microscopic examination.
