A Kashmiri Tuberculosis patient shows his anti-TB medicines which he takes daily at Kashmir's lone chest diseases hospital on March 24, 2015 in Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian administered Kashmir, India. The hospital was established by Christian missionaries over a century ago, primarily for treatment of tuberculosis and other chest diseases. Tuberculosis is among the world's most infectious killers that affects more than 12 million people globally with 2 million deaths annually. India has three million people infected with TB and has an estimated 99,000 drug-resistant TB cases every year. A tiny fraction of those infected in India receive the proper drugs, even with a government-funded program. The World Health Organization has included India on the list of high-burdened countries that contribute to 80 percent of the world's TB problem. World TB Day is marked on March 24, 2015.
