"...food was not considered to be an essential aspect of tuberculosis treatment, and so there was no funding for food. Some people became so hungry, she told me, that they left the hospital and stopped taking their medication, which increased the likelihood that the TB bacteria within them would continue multiplying, eventually developing resistance to first-line treatments."
