Cordaid provides medication and food to people with multi-resistant TB. My role is to diagnose, treat, and follow up with the patients. Adolescent girls and young women are more vulnerable to TB for many reasons, of which poverty and a lack of food are important ones.
“My goal is to treat as many people as possible to reduce the spread of the disease.”
Many young women don’t work and depend on their families. If you don’t eat well, your antibodies will become weak and you’ll become more vulnerable to TB and other viruses. As TB is a very contagious illness, my goal is to treat as many people as possible to reduce the spread of the disease.
