SHANGHAI - A 38-week-pregnant tuberculosis patient might finally find a delivery room in Nanjing. The local health bureau has promised her a green channel.

Thirty-four-year-old farmwife Wang Jiafeng and her husband Xu Pinlong from Jiangsu province's Yancheng came to Nanjing, the provincial capital city, a month ago for a medical checkup. Wang had been coughing incessantly.

Soon after Wang was diagnosed with tuberculosis and admitted to Nanjing Chest Hospital on Nov 25, a new problem arose.
