New treatments bring Kenya closer to goal of eradicating TB

Christine Mbali had high expectations when she started treatment for drug-resistant Tuberculosis in December 2017. For weeks before her diagnosis, a series of alarming symptoms had frightened her.

“A visit to the hospital led to my diagnosis with drug-resistant Tuberculosis.” But as she soon discovered, the Injectable Regimen [FM1], the TB treatment she was put on at the time, came with its fair share of challenges. She had to visit the clinic daily for some pills and an injection.

“I began my nine-month treatment with a prescription of one injection and 18 pills daily.”
