TB patients: Telling tales through pictures

Pakistan ranks eighth amongst high burden countries for TB globally.  To understand the experiences of people affected by Tuberculosis the Indus Hospital's ‘Tasweer-e-Zindagi’ project gave participants cameras and asked them to photograph their experiences, challenges, and factors that support them during their treatment.

Each photograph is accompanied by a story that contextualizes it.  These photographs and stories will be shared with community members, policy makers, and practitioners at the Tasweer-e-Zindagi gallery event held at the Indus Hospital on January 14, 2012.

This project was funded by the Stop TB Partnership's Challenge Facility for Civil Society.

This gallery event will be open for the general public on 14 January between 2 to 5 pm and on Monday and Tuesday from 10 am to 4 pm
