Photo Gallery: South African TB Clinics – Part 2

3 Nov 2010
by Working Group

This is part 2 of Lisan Parker’s photo collection from her recent trip to South Africa as part of her new role as Research Liason to the KwaZulu-Natal Research Institute for Tuberculosis and HIV (click here to view part 1):

These are additional pictures taken from a tour of additional hospitals which treat TB patients in Durban and Pietermaritzburg. Personally, the most moving visit was the trip to Pietermaritzburg to visit Edendale Hospital.
