CNAPTS success in TB eradication
The Ceylon National Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis (CNAPT) marks it 60th anniversary today. The Ceylon National Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis was the brainchild of Dr. J.H. Jayasuriya. He realised the need for a voluntary organisation to augment the efforts of the Government to control the diseases. He initially conceived the idea, implemented it and eventually built and nurtured the CNAPT into a very effective organisation.
