Abstract: The presidential address by Dr. Riaz Ali Shah at the Fifth All-Pakistan Tuberculosis Conference (Dacca, Jan 1961) traces the history of Pakistan’s anti‑tuberculosis movement, the formation of the National Tuberculosis Association of Pakistan (NTAP) in 1959, and the growing role of chemotherapy. Subsequent letters (1961‑1964) request Fatima Jinnah, as Patron‑in‑Chief, to send messages for various T.B. conferences and to inaugurate the 1964 annual conference in Karachi.

Description: Presidential address (Jan 1961) delivered by Dr. Riaz Ali Shah at Curzon Hall, Dacca, detailing the revival of voluntary anti‑tuberculosis work after partition, the founding of NTAP in 1959, and the revolutionary impact of drug treatment. Subsequent letters from the Lahore District T.B. Association (1961‑1962) request Fatima Jinnah’s messages for their annual conference and a Basic Democrats’ conference. A 1964 letter from the National Tuberculosis Association of Pakistan confirms her acceptance to inaugurate their annual conference at Hotel Metropole, Karachi, on 14 April 1964. Additionally, her secretary writes to a Karachi T.B. clinic requesting examination for a patient. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
