TB Patients - Coughing in Cambodia

According to USAID estimates “64% of Cambodians are infected with TB, and a substantial number of cases remain undetected.”

At CENAT, the Cambodian National Center for Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control in Phnom Penh there are dozens of patients who live in large multi-bed rooms in a quarantined compound for months at a time to undergo free treatment for TB.

Because of the hospital’s budgetary limitations family members are a nearly constant presence providing nursing care, food and support.

This is a collection of intimate portraits of some of these patients taken over the past few years.
