In Australia during the 1950s, TB had become quite common especially with millions of immigrants coming in from disadvantaged parts of Europe after WW2.<p>So they had Mobile X-Ray Vans that travelled from town to town doing widespread TB screening.<p>It was very successful, TB was practically wiped out in Australia within 5-10 years.
