I'm from Zhytomyr, a region which has some of the highest rates of tuberculosis in Ukraine.

In August 2018 I was diagnosed with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), and I was admitted to the regional tuberculosis hospital here. I'm taking the shorter treatment which is offered by MSF here. Initially I had very bad side-effects but now I have a new prescription and am preparing to move home from the hospital. 

I'll continue taking my medications as an out-patient.
