Three years ago the
BBC's "Kill or Cure?" filmed the clinical trials in
northern India for a drug to fight one of the
world's most neglected diseases, Visceral
Leishmaniasis. If caught, the disease (also known as
Black Fever) is almost always fatal, but now a new
drug has been licensed, tested and brought to the
people of India by the Institute for OneWorld
Health, and the hope is it will make a huge
difference to the battle against one of the most
deadly diseases in the world. "Kill or Cure?"
returns to India to see what impact the new drug is
having.
Documentary of the Year, 2007, on BBC World.
Part of a 28 x
25-minute documentary series produced for the BBC.
