YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Tuberculosis has largely been eradicated in the industrialized world, but the highly infectious disease kills more than a million people in poorer countries. India accounts for more than a quarter of cases - despite setting a goal of eliminating TB by the end of this year.

Critics say that's unrealistic - thanks to low government spending and shortage of medicines. DW Correspondent Adil Bhat has been to Faridabad in the northern state of Haryana to meet patients fighting the disease - and the challenges that remain in combating this epidemic.
