Patient stories

"It all started when Abdurahim was two. He suddenly stopped walking and couldn’t even sit, he would just lie down day and night and was simply unable to stand."
“If I don’t get my medicines, I may not die from corona, but I will die from TB”
“Giving a stool sample is of course no trouble and does not hurt. It would be great if children only had to undergo this test in the future.”
"I used to cry a lot and begged to God that he would help me and the kids. I asked if he could give them a great life. It helped, the pills worked and we all got better.”
“During the first few weeks I couldn’t calm down, my whole family was infected with TB”, says Olga holding Maxime to her chest.
“Me and my sister were always close, she helped me with my youngest baby and we support each other with everything” Saanvi (26)
