[The role of organized measures in lowering the tuberculosis morbidity of the population of the Kazakh SSR].
The system of organizational activities undertaken during 1970-1985 to optimize the antituberculosis efforts in the Republic made it possible to achieve significant positive results. Over the above period of time the antituberculosis service was reorganized in addition to the improved material basis of the tuberculosis control institutions. The treatment efficacy has thus increased as a result of higher rates of cavity closure (from 55.6 to 85.1%) and smear-negative cases (from 75.2 to 90.2%), and transfer to group III of the dispensary registration (from 15.7 to 41.4%). Tuberculosis morbidity, susceptibility and mortality decreased for 45.2, 53.7 and 59.2 per cent, respectively.
