All the films in this series are on the SWPictures website. Kill or Cure looks at diseases that are no threat in developed nations, but claim tens of millions of lives every year in developing countries. Modern, effective treatments targeting affluent westerners are too expensive for the world’s poor. Old drugs are cheap but resistance is spreading very fast. In some cases the only drugs available kill up to one in 10 of the patients who take them. Kill or Cure covers the hunt for effective and affordable treatments for populations earning less than a few dollars a day. STORY: Syphilis was thought to have been beaten by mass penicillin treatment in the 1950s and 1960s. Now it’s back, particularly among the rural populations of places like Haiti – which medical experts believe is where the disease started in the first place. The theory goes Christopher Columbus’ crew brought the disease back to Europe. Now, special mobile testing units are being used to tackle the disease and with great success.
