You probably think TB is a disease of the past. But that’s not because we’ve beat it. It’s because we’ve moved it elsewhere. Every year, over 10 million people fall ill with tuberculosis and it's concentrated where people are poorest, where overcrowding helps it spread, and where a six-month treatment course can mean losing your job, or even your social life.  Professor Greg Fox is an infectious diseases physician who treats TB patients in Sydney and leads research across Southeast Asia.   Greg outlines Australia’s responsibility to its neighbours in battling TB, and explains why cultural barriers like stigma make treatment so difficult in countries like Vietnam.   Read more about tuberculosis in Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green.  +++  The Solutionists is a podcast from the University of Sydney, produced by Deadset Studios.
