[Proceedings: The cooperation of welfare institutions].
In the light of developments in the Canton of Berne, an account is presented of the expansion of the cantonal antituberculosis leagues, their welfare offices and parent institution, the Swiss Antituberculosis Association. Special attention is drawn to the activities of these organizations in the case of other longterm diseases such as chronic obstructive bronchitis, chronic bronchial asthma and their sequelae, e.g. in the procurement of inhalers and respirators. In conclusion it is stressed that the care of these patients calls for longterm planning which requires close cooperation among everyone concerned. The value of prophylactic measures is particularly emphasized.
