Here’s a short film about Extreme drug-resistant tuberculosis.

According to WHO, “TB is a worldwide pandemic. Among the 15 countries with the highest estimated TB incidence rates, 13 are in Africa, while half of all new cases are in six Asian countries (Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan and the Philippines)... More than two billion people, equal to one third of the world’s total population, are infected with TB bacilli, the microbes that cause TB. One in every 10 of those people will become sick with active TB in his or her lifetime.” To read more about TB, check out: http://www.who.int/topics/tuberculosis/en/
