Shreya Tripathi

Shreya Tripathi (b.1998/1999 - d. 9 October 2018) was an Indian health activist.

Tripathi was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 2012. She was treated with first- and second-line medications, but her strain was found to be extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB), rendering the usual treatment ineffective. Her family was forced to travel hundreds of miles from their home in Patna to a respiratory disease center in New Delhi in the hopes of getting bedaquiline, a newly developed medication for XDR-TB. She was refused because she was not a resident of New Delhi. The Revised National TB Control Program (RNTCP) in India declined to provide her with bedaquiline. With the assistance of Anand Grover, Tripathi filed suit against the RNTCP to force the organization to provide access to the medication. In an article written after Tripathi's death, Lewis and Jennifer Furin suggested that Tripathi "belongs with Malala and Greta in the pantheon of teenagers whose unswerving principles have brought the powerful to their knees".

John Green discussed Tripathi's story in his non-fiction book Everything is Tuberculosis and highlighted her experience in his newsletter "We're Here" on 21 March 2025. Tripathi was noted to have been a fan of The Fault In Our Stars, Green's novel centered around terminal cancer patients, of which she was reading at the time of her death.
