Tuberculosis (TB) is a common ailment in Nepal. This perfectly curable disease still kills at least 6,000 Nepalis a year. and a 2018 survey revealed that close to 70,000 Nepalis contract the infection every year. The Covid-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the situation. Nationwide lockdowns and restricted mobility resulted in lack of screening and meant many people went undiagnosed, and patients had a harder time accessing medication. TB and Covid-19 disproportionately affect women, children, elderly and people living below the poverty line.
