OFFICE INDIAN AFFAIRS
SUPPORTS ALASKA TU
BERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION
The Office of Indian Affairs is
enthusiastically supporting the
campaign against tuberculosis
which the Alaska Tuberculosis
Association is carrying with the
funds realized from the sale of
Christmas Seals.
Incidence of tuberculosis has
feeen found to be higher among
the native peoples in Alaska than
among the whites in the same
area. Present hospital and field
nursing facilities are insufficient
to care adequately for all known
oases.
Extensive plans for increasing
facilities are under way, but de
velopment of these plans which
Include hospital construction is
necessarily a slow process The
problem of providing best pos
sible care in the interim is being
attacked by concentrated efforts
of community leaders and teach
ers as well as Medical and nurs
ing personnel. In this connection
valuable asistance is afforded by
the Alaska Tuberculosis Asso
ciation, especially in providing
facilities for diagnosis of early
cases and its cooperation in sup
plying valuable literature.
The onset of tuberculosis is in
sidious. Early cases can be diag
nosed only on the basis of x-ray
findings. The program conducted
by the Alaska Tuberculosis As
sociation which has provided
x-ray equipment and services of
specialists to travel into remote
areas on casb finding projects is
of immeasurable value in indicat
ing where greatest needs lie and
I
in suggesting programs to be fol
lowed Early diagnosis, early and
continued care, will help to solve
the problem.
Perhaps most important of all
the activities of the Alaska Tu
berculosis Association is their
j> ear-round educational program,
i Literature covering various phas
} cs of the tuberculosis problem
i has been prepared by experts
! and is available for the use of
j nurses, teachers, clubs and other
| public agencies for the purpose
i of community education. The
movie films put out by the Na
tional Tuberculosis Association
are especially valuable for use in
Alaska. The Iso-type charts,
about 30 of which are available
through the cooperation of the
Alaska Tuberculosis Association,
the Territorial Health Depart
i ment and the Office of Indian
Affairs, speak for themselves and
are especially graphic. They are
constructed in such a way that
their appeal is universal, to the
old and young, the educated and
! the uneducated. These are just
' samples of the education pro
gram of the Alaska Tuberculosis
Association. By means of the
knowledge and advice dissemin
ated in this manner, the person
already infected with tubercul
osis can, if he will, cure himself,
protect his family and the pub
lic infection; in turn the other
members of the family can learn
how to care for the sick person
and yet protect themselves from
contx-acting the disease.
This service is made available
to the people of Alaska through
! your purchase of Christmas
Seals. Ninety five cents of each
dollar stays in Alaska. The other
