Fight against TB stalls in Bangladesh as U.S. cuts aid

Season 2025 Episode 226 | 8m 17s

The disease kills more people than any other infectious agent worldwide, about 1.25 million in 2023. In partnership with the Pulitzer Center, Fred de Sam Lazaro reports from Bangladesh on efforts to contain the fallout.
