Safargul's mother Dastargul shows the medicine box where she keeps the drugs for her daughter’s MDR-TB treatment. Dastargul is the sole caretaker of her daughter.
13-year-old mentally challenged Safargul has MDR-TB. She also has occasional epileptic seizures, further complicating her treatment. As part of that treatment, MSF counsellors provide stimuli that help her take her mind of arduous drug regimen. In Safargul’s case, counsellors provide paper and colouring pencils for drawings as well as musical incentives.
