Reseña del libro "Lives on the Edge Tuberculosis in Marginalised Populations (en Inglés)"
DescriptionIndia is the global TB capital, home to over one-fourth of the world's TBpatients. It records over 2.8 million new TB cases each year and a growingnumber of drug-resistant cases that are hard to detect. An estimated 5,04,000Indians died from it in 2020. India has claimed that it will eliminate TB by2025, a difficult target despite the fact that the country has one of the world'slargest TB control programmes. The disease continues to devastate lives, especially among the marginalised.Lives on the Edge focuses on the unaddressed challenges in the fight against TB.In it, award-winning journalist Radheshyam Jadhav documents the lives of thepoor affected by TB, reminding us why TB cannot be controlled or eliminatedwithout providing free and accessible healthcare, food security, and safehousing. The stories featured in this book include that of a girl who is marriedoff at fifteen, contracts HIV from her husband and is left to fight HIV and TBall alone; women in Solapur who suffer from TB, but continue bidi rolling toearn a livelihood; devadasis who suffer brutal exploitation and live in denialof HIV and TB; transgenders who remain social pariahs; tribal communitieswho lack access to the healthcare system, and migrants who are dubbed 'TBcarriers' and denied quality care.Though considered a national emergency, TB still lacks the political attention, funding, and people-centred policymaking and programmes that it desperatelyneeds. This powerful book is an urgent call to action.
