Arim, a patient with extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis, holds an X-ray of his damaged lungs. Arim, from Kurdistan, had to go to Jordan to get adequate treatment for his disease. XDR-TB is particularly complex, and requires prolonged treatment. Arim has been on a treatment regimen for more than two years, and has responded well to new drugs that have become available, with support from the Global Fund. His personal journey has been arduous, and he is stoic about the challenges that have come his way.
