{"Image ImageDescription": "KABUL, AFGHANISTAN - OCTOBER 25:  A leishmaniasis patients cries while getting a painful injection of Sodium Stibogluconate at a free specialized clinic for Leishmaniasis supported by World Health Organization (WHO) October 25, 2010 in Kabul, Afghanistan. Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by a parasite transmitted by a tiny sandfly that can lead to severe scarring, often on the face. Leishmaniasis plagues Afghanistan's poor, who often sleep on the floor, and the disease isn't a priority for the government and its aid donors who are grappling with infant mortality, tuberculosis, malaria and trauma. The most common form of the disease is not fatal, but causes untold misery and scarring on faces, stigmatizing children who are excluded at school and making it hard for girls to find husbands. According to WHO,  there were an estimated 65,000 reported cases from the 2009. (Photo by Paula Bronstein/Getty Images)", "Image Copyright": "2010 Getty Images"}
