India has achieved a significant milestone in its fight against tuberculosis (TB), recording a 21% decline in TB incidence from 237 cases per lakh population in 2015 to 187 per lakh in 2024, nearly double the global decline of 12%, according to the World Health Organization's Global TB Report 2025. This steep reduction highlights India's sustained focus on technology-powered case detection, wider access to treatment, and robust community involvement.
