TB&MSF
In 2010, MSF treated close to 30,000 people for tuberculosis, of which 3,300 were children under the age of 15. MSF – often working alongside national health authorities – treats patients for TB in 29 countries in a wide variety of settings, ranging from urban slums to rural areas, prisons or refugee camps.
In recent years, MSF has worked to increase the numbers of people it treats with drug-resistant tuberculosis from 11 patients in 2001 to around 1,000 people across 15 countries in 2010.
