The next trip, I went again to Liqisia District, to the village of Loidahar, with a team of three nurses and a trainee community health worker, who was also our guide.
The purpose was to visit a string of little hamlets in the steep hills and locate possible Tuberculosis sufferers, identify hem, counsel them and take a sputum sample for analysis in their nearby temporary file basis, where the lab technician was on standby with her microscope. The team was already on the hill, on their third day, camped in the community house in a village. They were walking down the road, when we met, I left with a KD driver from Tibar an hour earlier.
