Doctors’ organization rolls out TB assistance

Defining the News

Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières will start providing tuberculosis medications for 141 patients in Tondo, Manila starting today. The organization said this is to support the Manila Health Department , which has been struggling with drug shortages over the past year.

Since January 2024, over 300 patients have been diagnosed with TB through the active case-finding activities of Doctors Without Borders in Tondo, Manila. This is due to the recurrent drug shortage at the local health centers, and due to the patients’ economic difficulties in purchasing TB drugs themselves, MSF said.
