FACES OF TUBERCULOSIS - RUSSIA

In partnership with the Russian Red Cross, Moscow-based photographer Serge Golovach took photos of Russian celebrities, engaging them in the fight against TB. Photos show the celebrities holding an X-ray of their own lungs.

Russia has the highest MDR-TB incidence.. There are 110,000 new TB cases every year and 25,000 deaths annually. In Russia, an estimated five to ten percent of all new TB cases are MDR-TB.
