- Summary:
- Lesotho has the 4th highest TB rate in the world and drug-resistant TB is a serious problem. A major cause of this drug resistance is patients not correctly completing their treatment regime. Motorbikes enable health workers to travel long distances and across rough terrain to find patients who are unwilling to complete their treatment.
