LIVES ON THE EDGE: TUBERCULOSIS IN MARGINALISED POPULATIONS Paperback

Lives on the Edge: Tuberculosis in Marginalised Populations offers an in-depth examination of the devastating impact of tuberculosis (TB) on vulnerable communities around the world. Focusing on marginalized populations—such as the homeless, refugees, migrant workers, and those living in poverty—this book sheds light on the unique challenges they face in both accessing healthcare and combating the disease. Drawing on real-life case studies, personal stories, and the latest research, the book explores the social, economic, and healthcare disparities that perpetuate TB's spread in these high-risk groups. It also addresses the global health systems' responses, the stigmatization of affected individuals, and the urgent need for tailored interventions to address TB's growing prevalence in marginalized communities. Lives on the Edge is a crucial resource for public health professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the intersection of infectious disease, social justice, and global health. By amplifying the voices of those most affected, it calls for a more inclusive and equitable approach to tackling TB in the 21st century.
