Key quotes
· 5 pulledThank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!
TB is also deeply linked with poverty.
People who live in poverty often do not have enough food to eat and can become underweight.
This affects the immune system and means such vulnerable people are more likely to become ill with, and in sometimes die from, TB.
As a medical doctor and TB researcher, I have worked for the past decade with Birat Nepal Medical Trust (BNMT Nepal).
