Detailed explanation-1: -While the COVID-19 pandemic impacted TB Programmes across the world, India was able to successfully offset the disruptions caused, through the introduction of critical interventions in 2020 and 2021 – this led to the National TB Elimination Programme notifying over 21.4 lakh TB cases – 18% higher than 2020.
Detailed explanation-2: -The reported number of TB cases in the United States declined from 8, 904 TB cases in 2019 to 7, 174 TB cases in 2020, a 19.4% decrease. The national TB incidence rate decreased from 2.7 cases per 100, 000 persons in 2019 to 2.2 cases per 100, 000 persons in 2020.
Detailed explanation-3: -Only about one in three people with drug resistant TB accessed treatment in 2020. Globally, TB incidence is falling at about 2% per year and between 2015 and 2020 the cumulative reduction was 11%. This was over half way to the End TB Strategy milestone of 20% reduction between 2015 and 2020.
