Everyday Emergency

Latest Episodes:

"All I Need is a Metre of Rope" Jul 08, 2016

Show notes

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.
