My Teenage Battle with MDR TB: John’s Story

News, Uncategorized

John contracted TB two years ago when he transferred schools after what he describes as a family disagreement. He moved from his mother’s house in Murang’a to live with his elder sister in Nairobi. Life in school continued normally, but after two terms in his new school, he started coughing. The cough persisted for a number of weeks until one day his sister advised him to seek treatment at a nearby health centre.
