Tuberculosis Statistics
The WHO report reveals staggering statistics, indicating that 1.25 million people died from TB worldwide in 2023, overshadowing the global COVID-19 death toll of 320,000 during the same period. Furthermore, 10.8 million people fell ill with TB last year, representing an increase from previous years. The report also reveals that the number of people with TB who are co-infected with HIV has increased by 40% since 2013. This is a major concern, as HIV is known to weaken the immune system and make it more difficult for people to fight off infections like TB.
