Indian Tuberculosis (TB) patient Sushma

Indian Tuberculosis (TB) patient Sushma Bhat (30), lies on a bed in the TB Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad on July 15, 2009. According to The World Health Organisation (WHO), TB is one of the leading causes of mortality in India, killing more than 300,000 people every year. India's WHO-recommended Directly Observed Therapy, Short-course (DOTS) strategy is the largest and fastest expanding programme in the world in terms of patients initiated on treatment, however coinfection with HIV and MDR (MultiDrug Resistant) TB, caused by improper use of antibiotics in chemotherapy on drug-susceptible TB patients, pose major threats to the success of DOTS and global TB control.
