How many pills does it take to treat one person with drug-resistant TB? 14,600! We need better treatment now. The two-year regimen for treating DR-TB is extremely arduous and can cause patients to become blind or deaf and can cause organ failure. MSF is calling for better diagnosis and treatment for DR-TB.
