Yesterday was World TB Day, this is one video from the mini-site we created for last year’s World TB Day that really hit me.

One of the major issues facing global health today is TB, and one of the real issues facing control (and eventual eradication - am i dreaming?) is a lack of a point of care diagnostic test that works on kids and also HIV-TB co-infected patients.

Devindra is an 11 year old in Mumbai - he explains the difficult diagnosis and the pain of having TB. His uncle looks on lovingly, you can really feel how happy they are to be sitting there today with Devindra healthly.
