• Clients typically pay for their immigration medical examination and any subsequent tests needed to complete the medical examination.However,the world health organisation(WHO'S) position of TB management is that it is affordable.The End TB Strategy aims for zero per cent of people suffering catastrophic costs,and more targeted investigation of TB following primary screening. it is therefour recommended that panel physicinas utilise a ''global fee'' system in which anticipated sputum testing and TB treatment costs are spread across the full applicant pool so that individual applicants are not charged separately for these costs. this encourages applicants needing sputum evalution for TB to complete this evalution and inceress the chances that they will complete treatement(especially treatment coordinated by the panel physician programmes), thereby minimising the risk of further transmission and development of drug resistance.panel physicians will be monitored closely to ensure that all those requiring further investigation as outlined latre in this document do so.
