P. 4
My 24-year-old sister Samidha, a
doctor herself, passed away just 6
months after getting TB. We did
everything we could but we still
couldn’t save her. My parents came to
the hospital twice—the first time to get
her college admission done and then,
to take her body home.

families have also lost their dear ones to TB—some at a very young age, some within
months of getting the disease and some after a prolonged period of pain and illness.
