MSF has been advocating for better more effective treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) since the late 1990s. The side effects of the medicines people currently take for DR-TB are often described as worse than the disease itself. Patients take up to 20 pills a day, alongside painful injections in some countries, with treatment lasting up to 18 months. Over the course of their treatment, some patients are unable to go to work, socialise, or even visit public places. Their lives are put on hold. And after all that, only about half of people with DR-TB are cured.
