Every year, kala azar kills more than 50,000 thousand people worldwide. A neglected disease, the treatment for it was developed in the 1930s and requires a long, painful course of intra-muscular injections. The treatment is also prohibitively expensive for many of those who have the disease. In Kacheliba, West Pokot District, Kenya, MSF provides free treatment for kala azar.

  • This video is very eye opening. The whole concept of a "neglected disease" is very sad and it is great to see work being done to address this.
