Ucrania: Ayudando a los pacientes con tuberculosis en Zhytómyr

©Olena Markova, MSF nurse, welcomes Lidiia Andriienko, 78, into the cabinet where she will perform the audiometry test at the Zhytomyr Regional TB Dispensary in Zhytomyr, Ukraine on October 25, 2018. TB treatment can cause a lot of different side-effects that many patients struggle with, and loss of hearing is one of them. In 2018, MSF started providing treatment for drug resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) to patients in Zhytomyr Oblast, in partnership with the Zhytomyr Regional TB Dispensary. Zhytomyr region has one of the highest rates of TB cases in Ukraine.
