S1 E4: The Darkest Hour - a podcast by Doctors Without Borders

In our fourth episode we meet British doctor Emily Wise who, in 2013, travelled to Uzbekistan - a country with particularly high drug-resistant tuberculosis rates.

In 'The Darkest Hour', Emily describes in heartbreaking detail the final minutes of a TB patient's life.

You can read more from Emily about her time in Uzbekistan on her blog: blogs.msf.org/en/staff/blogs/one-steppe-beyond

"Everyday Emergency" is a podcast from Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)

In each episode, we bring you true stories from the frontline of humanitarian emergencies across the world.

From the conflict in Syria to the refugee crisis in Europe, we’ll be talking to people with some incredible stories that may just change your outlook on life, or at least, for a moment, put things into perspective.

In each podcast you’ll hear a true story written by an MSFer on the ground, read by an actor. We’ll then get them into the studio at MSF HQ for a chat about their time with MSF.
