multi-drug resistant tuberculosis

Maddy is a student in the UK who is currently going through treatment for multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. While ten million people are affected with tuberculosis every year, treatment options for drug-resistant strains are limited and side-effects can be severe. Maddy shares his story so far…

After experiencing severe side-effects to the injectible medication she was taking for multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis, Halyna, 55, got a new prescription and is now preparing to continue the shorter treatment offered by Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) at home.
