The Dopasi Foundation has taken a significant step toward improving public health by launching a mobile TB screening program for coal miners in Pakistan. Introduced in December 2024, this initiative aims to detect and prevent the spread of tuberculosis (TB) among coal miners, who are at higher risk due to their working conditions.

With limited healthcare access in remote mining areas, the Mobile TB screening program will provide on-site diagnostic services, ensuring early detection and timely treatment. This proactive approach aligns with Pakistan’s National Tuberculosis Control Program, which aims to reduce TB cases nationwide.
