Abstract
The role of para-medical workers should consist of identifying the chest symptomatics, col-lecting proper specimens of sputum from them and arranging for examination of the sputum. Jn respect of case-holding, their most important function is to motivate the patient and the family for regular treatment. Treatment regimens must be acceptable to obtain hotter compliance from the patients and the para-medicals must identify adverse reactions as curly us possible. Health education with a view to create public awareness, to maintain proper record of treatment with a view to detect drug default, as early as possible, and to take prompt defaulter action are the other responsibilities of a para-medical worker. The need for improved working conditions and better emoluments for the para-medical workers was stressed.
