Hope for eradicating tuberculosis emerges in Peru slum
LIMA, Nov 22 (Reuters) – Now halfway through his treatment for tuberculosis, William Campos, 49, is starting to imagine a healthy life again.
“I want to walk again, to work again. I want to get up in the morning, get on a bus and head to the countryside,” Campos said from his bed beneath a sheet-draped window in the shantytown Carabayllo, one of the poorest districts in Peru’s capital, Lima.
