Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a major health problem in India. The "German Doctors" have been fighting tuberculosis for over thirty years in the slums of Kolkata. To be more effective, they have also been cooperating with local healers. This reporting project explores the German and Indian efforts to stop TB. It investigates the research being done by scientists in India and worldwide, focusing on the development of new drugs, faster diagnosis and, ultimately, a vaccine.
