Each morning, perhaps a dozen of the TB patients would be too ill to come to the TB medication clinic. Because it was very important that we track down these folks and be sure they were taking their medicines, we would make house calls, or "daboyta calls" following the medication clinic. We needed to be sure the TB patients never missed a dose. We'd be able to find them because each patient was assigned to live in a certain sector and in a certain daboyta—each of them, as you can see, identified with a spray-painted letter and number.
