Despite ranking alongside HIV as the leading cause of death by infectious disease worldwide, the global response to TB has been found wanting.
Because the drugs used in standard treatment have not changed in over 40 years, they are becoming less and less effective due to increasingly high levels of resistance from the bacteria.
In the seventh episode of Everyday Emergency, Australian doctor Amrita Ronnachit discusses her time battling the disease in Uzbekistan, and the case of one patient who struggled with his treatment.

"Everyday Emergency" is a podcast from Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
In each episode, we bring you true stories from the frontline of humanitarian emergencies across the world.
From the conflict in Syria to the refugee crisis in Europe, we’ll be talking to people with some incredible stories that may just change your outlook on life, or at least, for a moment, put things into perspective.
In each podcast you’ll hear a true story written by an MSFer on the ground, read by an actor. We’ll then get them into the studio at MSF HQ for a chat about their time with MSF.
