WHO Global TB Report 2025: India Still Bears 25% of Global Burden Despite 21% Reduction
The WHO Global Tuberculosis Report 2025, discussed widely on November 13, 2025, revealed that India remains the country with the highest TB burden, accounting for 25% of global cases despite achieving a 21% reduction in incidence since 2015.
Global TB incidence declined 1.7% between 2023-2024. India's TB incidence fell from 195 to 187 per 100,000 population. India diagnosed over 2.61 million of an estimated 2.7 million cases in 2024 and accounts for 32% of global MDR-TB cases. India's target is to eliminate TB by 2025, five years ahead of the global 2030 SDG target, though experts say this goal remains challenging.
