Fighting Tuberculosis in Peru's Village of Hope

Margarita Valle, a health worker with organisation Partners in Health walks towards the home of a patient who has tuberculosis that her organization supports, in the neighborhoods of Carabayllo in Lima, Peru July 14, 2016. At least 30,000 Peruvians are infected with tuberculosis, an ancient disease that killed 1.8 million globally last year, more than AIDS-related and malaria deaths combined. Partners in Health, a Boston-based non-profit that works with Peru's health ministry, offers a simple solution. It trains community volunteers to tend to tuberculosis sufferers in their homes – ensuring patients take medicine daily and helping them navigate the public health bureaucracy.
