| The REACH Lilly MDR-TB Partnership Media Fellowships provide working journalists from local language newspapers with support to undertake in-depth analysis of various aspects of TB in India. The Fellowships are intended to encourage journalists to explore TB as a critical public health concern in India, by identifying and developing stories that remain untold. |
