Tuberculosis: How drones are transforming care in the Philippines | 101 East Documentary

Tuberculosis is a leading cause of death in the Philippines, killing an estimated 98 people each day. The infectious disease is particularly grave in remote communities, where medical services are limited and delayed diagnosis and treatment can be fatal. But a Filipino doctor is determined to change that with modern innovations. Dr Heidi Sampang uses drones to fly samples and speed up testing. The technology can help save lives by expediting the delivery of essential medical supplies in a country with thousands of mountainous islands. 101 East meets the medical teams using drones to fight tuberculosis in the Philippines.
