From a seven-year-old child to a mother of two children, drug-resistant tuberculosis is rampant among all age groups. Globally, TB is the leading killer among infectious diseases with one-third of these deaths occurred in India. Patients either do not receive timely, accurate diagnoses or are unable to access the new drug regimen of Bedaquiline and Delamanid. It is not just the medical treatment but psycho-social support, infection prevention control measures and public awareness to battle stigma, especially among peer groups, that play an equally important role in treating TB. |
| We are sharing with you stories of people from three generations living in Mumbai: a girl in paediatric care named Vaishnavi, a 26-years-old man Chetan who aspired to build a prosperous career abroad, and a 33-years-old TB survivor Namrata who is now a community health worker with MSF. All three of them are receiving or have already received medical treatment at the MSF TB clinic in Mumbai. |
