Pioneering treatment for children with TB

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

A new pill specifically designed to treat tuberculosis in children has been launched in Kenya - a world first. Until now children have been treated with adult tablets which have been split and crushed so that they can be swallowed more easily. Âé¶¹Éç Africa's Health Correspondent Anne Soy went to Majengo slum in Nairobi to see what difference the new drugs could make. (Picture: A mother preparing tuberculosis medicine for her daughter.
