While the number of #tuberculosis-related deaths decreased from 1.32 million in 2022 to 1.25 million in 2023, the total number of people falling ill with the disease rose slightly to an estimated 10.8 million in 2023 bit.ly/3A8WsXw

Multidrug-resistant #tuberculosis remains a public health crisis. Treatment success rates for multidrug-resistant or rifampicin-resistant #TB have now reached 68%. But, of the 400,000 people estimated to have developed them, only 44% were diagnosed and treated in 2023

Globally, #tuberculosis research remains severely underfunded with only 1/5th of the US$ 5 billion annual target reached in 2022. This impedes the development of new #TB diagnostics, drugs and vaccines bit.ly/3A8WsXw

The new World Health Organization (WHO) report on #tuberculosis (TB) shows: - 8.2 million people were newly diagnosed with TB in 2023 – the highest number recorded since 1995; - TB-related deaths declined for a second consecutive year, as access to services continues to improve; - multidrug-resistant TB
