A woman with polio sitting in bed near her prosthetic legs. Her legs were amputated, one when she was little and another when she was older, due to the polio disease that affects thousands of people and is almost eradicated. This woman belongs to the Indian district of Andhra Pradesh, one of the driest and poorest places in India, which is more difficult to control these diseases.
