Mashup Score: 13Treatment of TB is recovering after covid-19 but well short of 2025 targets, says WHO - 6 month(s) ago
Access to the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis (TB) is rebounding following serious setbacks during the pandemic, but progress is still far short of meeting the World Health Organizationâs 2025 targets. The number of people newly diagnosed with TB reached 7.5 million globally in 2022âthe highest since monitoring began in 1995 and above the pre-covid baseline of 7.1 million in 2019, according to WHOâs 2023 Global Tuberculosis Report.1 The number of reported cases dropped to 5.8 million in 2020 and 6.4 million in 2021 as the collapse of health systems caused by covid-19 prevented many with the disease from receiving a diagnosis or treatment.

Mashup Score: 0UN high level meeting must chart a path to TB elimination - 9 month(s) ago
Political commitment will be key to eliminating tuberculosis as a public health challenge, says Austin Arinze Obiefuna Septemberâs United Nations General Assembly has the potential to deliver historic progress in the drive to end tuberculosis (TB). For only the second time in the bodyâs history, the UN will convene presidents, prime ministers, and senior government officials for the purpose of mobilising a more urgent response to this devastating disease.1 Progress will flourish or falter depending on the support of these global leaders.
