Moldova has been hit particularly hard by the emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), a new, deadly strain of an age old disease.
EPIDEMIC: TB in the Global Community is a photography exhibit that shows how tuberculosis affects people’s lives. The photographs focus on South Africa’s gold mining population, the slums of Mumbia, India, and Moldova’s prison population – all areas of particularly high TB incidence. This interactive WHO map shows the incidence of TB around the globe.
