URGENT APPEAL: Help Us Save Lives from Drug-Resistant TB
In Cambodia, due to the abrupt loss of USAID funding, over 200 patients care for in the national drug-resistant TB program are now at risk of treatment failure—or worse.
While the funding has stopped, our commitment has not.
These patients are in the middle of complex, life-saving treatment. Without continued care, they face not only devastating health outcomes but also the risk of spreading drug-resistant TB to others in their communities.
In Ethiopia widespread conflict, famine and disease outbreaks are threatening the delivery of drug-resistant TB care across several of GHC’s treatment sites across the country.
Medical, social and nutritional support is urgently needed to support patients and their families at this critical time.
We need your support to keep care going, prevent new infections, and to provide the human right of health to our patients.
