Additional Information / Shotlist MSF works in partnership with the Ministry of Public Health to diagnose and treat patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB). The project aims to ensure patients with TB have access to quality, free and effective treatment. In April 2021, MSF inaugurated the hospital, which includes a laboratory, outpatient clinic and 24-beds for inpatients suffering from DR-TB and comorbidities, and those who develop severe side effects after taking DR-TB medication. MSF also provides mental health support and undertakes health promotion activities in the hospital.
